What I've Been Up To

Between episodes of Downton Abbey, I've been working on this:  

It's my first go at designing a quilt using paper piecing.  It's actually still a work in progress.  I'm waiting for fabric to arrive that I ordered on line to tweak the border.  I am on the committee for an upcoming textile exhibit that is taking place in March and April at the DC Temple Visitors Center.  I am planning on entering my quilt through this: http://familytiestextileexhibit.org/.  If any of my creative friends out there are interested in entering something crocheted, knitted, embroidered, cross stitched or quilted, we've extended the deadline and would love to hear from you (ASAP).
