Last time I posted, I was on my way to a new fabric shop...Fabric Etc. 2 at 446 North York Road in Elmhurst, Illinois. This place is definitely my new favorite fabric shop! It is spacious, has tons of fabric, and the staff is wonderful. I brought two quilt tops that I made and couldn't find borders for...the dragonfly quilt and my memories of the southwest quilt. The staff, and some shoppers, at Fabric Etc. 2 helped me find the perfect fabric to compliment my tops. I also found some fabric for a new quilt project...very exciting! Even though the huge quilt convention is just around the corner, I couldn't help myself. If you live in the Chicago-land area and haven't been to Fabric Etc. 2, I would definitely recommend you check it out!
Here is the corner of the quilt so you can see the border - I love batiks!
I caught the quilting bug in 2009 from my mother-in-law. When I'm not quilting or teaching 4th grade, I enjoy traveling with my husband, taking pictures, going to Sox and Bears games, watching TV, and reading.

I love the color combination. It's very dramatic!
