Anyway I want to share with you although it is not quite finished, my present for my grandmothers 80th birthday. I have have always wanted to make my grandmother a quilt with her family on it. Now mind you I have only made 2 or 3 quilts in my entire life and that was over 5 years ago so I am a bit rusty. In the patterned fabric there are hearts handstitched in and squiggles on the sides of the saying that reads A family stitched in love hardly unravels. I am debating as to wheather or not i want everyone to sign it. What do you think?
Now for my surprise. My promised blog candy for my 100+ posts. I know it took me forever to get to, but it is here. 
I am offering up bazzill bling paper in primary,rubons galore (love them) 18 yards of satin ribbon in white, blue and green, a cute 8x8 cupcake scrap kit (perfect for making cards, bling flowers , some cute buggy chipboard shapes and a fun design your own mug!

Before I die I wanna make a quilt in my life. So jealous of ppl that know how to do that! Was it hard to learn?
I really think that the quilt will be treasured for years and years to come - I would sign it if I were you just so as it is passed down throughout the years an an heirloom it will have a better history attached to it!
