Quilt Making!

I'll update soon with more pictures...but I just wanted to say that we have been busy around here with life and such, and Quilt making has been one of them!  I do love crafts making my own things and I  learned to sew from my mother... who also loves to sew and craft!  I haven't done much of it in a long time since life seems to get busy... but now I'm doing more of it and the thoughts and dreams of hand making something unique and of my own has finally come about.  We now have..."HANDMADE BY NADINE"!
(My Mama's Mama was called Nadine and my middle name is the same, named after my Grandma.  I've thought for a while that if I ever sold my own crafts, I'd use my middle name.  So there you have it... the reason for the name title.)
 'Handmade by Nadine" - My own marketing and creating of hand made Picnic Quilts made from Bright Floral Gypsy Romanian scarves sold at the local market.  I do love the market and I love flowers and I love these bright colors...so it's been fun to put them together with other fabric prints and make them into a fun and sunny Quilt for those lovely picnics outside...weather in the mountains, the meadow, by a stream or on a beach, or even indoors on a living room floor! The will brighten up any picnic!  It's true, they are crazy prints with lots of color and pattern...but I sure do love that!
