Good Afternoon! If you love quilts and home decor this is the blog post for you! My quilt group "Bits and Pieces" met today for our monthly meeting. Today we were at Rita's home. I had shared with you on a previous post that we would be visiting Rita's home soon and so here it is!! Woo hoo, if you love to decorate with your quilted treasures hold on the your hats you are in for a treat!!
 |
| I chose to begin with this framed quilt which hangs over the couch in Rita's living room. This picture does not do justice to this amazing piece. The floral pieces on the bottom are all appliqued on and all the quilting in the white area is custom, it is just plain gorgeous!! | |
 |
| Meet Jackson (love the name) He is 10 and spending a week with his grandma Marianne. He is reading his Kindle and deep into the story! He is one of the most polite, well behaved 10 year olds I have met in a very long time. We hardly knew he was there! | |

| These are boxes painted with a quilt design in the living room. |

| So what did I do today?? I finished the mini quilt and put the binding on the quilt I am donating to a Breast Cancer fund raiser in the fall. See that cute little pink cradle? It is full of my birthday fat quarters from the girls! | |
 |

Thank you again to our hosts Rita and Marianne, it was such a wonderful fun day!!
