Folk Art Sampler quilt is finished

My original design Folk Art Sampler quilt is finally finished. I chose fabrics in Sept, posted my drawing and fabrics Oct. 4. I sewed all of Oct and Nov on the blocks and applique. Had surgery Nov 24. After several months being sick, surgery and complications I feel like sewing again. Last week I started machine quilting in the ditch on my blocks and outline on appliques. Today I added the binding and the quilt is in it's place on the back of my sofa.

Many projects are ahead for 2010, praying for good health this year, day by day. I have purchased book and fabrics for an Underground Railroad quilt, beautiful jewel tone batiks for a French Braid quilt for my sister, and need to make the last quilt for my Wizard of Oz series.
 Quilting Treasures is hosting a contest with Fons and Porter magazine and I would like to enter my series of 6 quilts, one from each collection.
Happy quilting and I am looking forward to seeing your projects on the Quilters Blog.
