A warmer and softer world, one quilt at a time. At long last Sundance has surrendered this, her latest quilt, "Sugar and Spice". I've had this one loaded for a good while. The long arm journey continues, step by step. This sampler quilt was the example for a quilt making class that I taught at our local community college fifteen years ago, it has languished as a top long enough! The pattern is from Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! a book by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes, it is still available and a great resource for quilt making of all levels. This has proved to be a great surface for playing with different free motion and straight-edge guided quilting techniques. Now, to find some fifteen year old fabric from the stash for binding; I don't think that will be a problem! The sweetest thing about "Sugar and Spice"? It's done! Stay tuned to see what follows this one... any guesses?Life is Good!

My guess is a baby quilt or the signature quilt.
This quilt is a wonderful display of your talent. I'm in awe.
Baby, baby, baby. Could it be a baby quilt?
Looks like folks have your next one figured out, Grandmere! I'm going with baby quilt too.
I love the colors in your sampler. Very sweet!
Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails, next!

The flannel baby quilt?
Lovely quilt!
OK... I'm going with the popular guesses... BA BY all the way! :-)
It always feels good to have a finish. The wedding quilt? That's my guess!
My immediate thought was, "Something wild and crazy!" Something that lets your hair allll the way down! :cD Love the sampler...

It looks great Mrs. G. It does seem like a wonderful way to practice different techniques.
Ooooooooooo! I haven't seen that design before....very different!! I love the colors...especially the design!
I think the next quilt is going to have warm colors~ a comfort feeling...a design that says country? Maybe...lol. I can't wait to see!! ((SMILE))
Beautiful quilt! Love your quilting and the colors

It really IS Sugar & Spice. How lovely.
It really IS Sugar & Spice. How lovely.
Quilts seem to have a way of knowing just when it's time for them to be done *s* I'm going to put in my guess for a baby quilt, too *s*
Oh how pretty!! I can only say it seems "baby quilt" is the leader in voting :>)...whatever you create it will be a beauty!
By the way your previous post of "I'm Grateful" has become the new fav' for my office including our *Guidance Counselor* the reactions from folks when the response to the question of "how are you" is "I'm Grateful" is amazing, and always brings a response and most times a question of "for what"! Thank you for sharing that blog entry, love it!
Looks great! I just cannot wait for my baby to arrive. Soon!
