Just got back from a (business) trip to Long Beach and Santa Monica California.

Just before I left, I finished a Peace Shawl for my friend Diane. She just had knee replacement surgery, so the shawl is a "warm hug" for whenever she needs one during the healing process.

The shawl is knitted on size 13 needles, so it worked up very quickly. The cats were happy with the quick progress....it gave them a warm nest whenever I put it down!

One of my promises to myself this years was to FINISH some of the many projects I have in progress.

Well, I've finished one! I started a quilt as a thank you gift for a friend.

"Vintage Memories" by Leslee Price is the pattern. I've chosen bright colors for this quilt. I wanted it to be "happy". The quilt is all hand pieced and hand quilted. It took about 3 months from beginning to end.
