I am finally back to my cow quilt. I finished Purple Maze and will post pics when I get the binding on it. I have agonized over the quilt that the lamb (who is supposed to be me) is wearing. I wanted it to look like a quilt and drape like a quilt. I checked out Ruth McDowell"s piecing workshop book at our guild and there was my answer. It took a day to transfer my design to freezer paper, add a quarter inch to each piece and sew 2/3's of it together. Can't wait to finish it (lamb quilt) this afternoon. I still need to paint lamb's face, add a plane, banner, corn, and back end of a Harley. I am teaching a "What's Your Story" class in August at The Crazy 9 Patch in Ramona based on Mary Lou Weidman's "Out of the Box With Easy Blocks" and need to finish this quilt and one that I have just done the borders for: "Why Make Cookies when You Can Make a Sugar Cube Castle". I am excited to be able to teach another class at The Crazy 9 Patch in addition to a return of the Exploring Color workshop in May.

| Those red and black hanging things are notes and will be connected before done. Got last 2 borders attached, removed 1 missplaced note, added Harley patch, and made great progress on lamb quilt |

| Last 1/3 laid out on original pattern. I was able to turn my plexiglass machine surround and an OTT light to make a light box to easily transfer pattern to shiny side of freezer paper |
Going to UFO today to look for fabric to recover my couch. Gotta run!

Your Love quilt is really, really cute. And I think the quilt on the lamb is just perfect. It looks exactly like it is wrapped around it. Can't wait to see it finished. Have a great week!
