Escaped?

No, I didn't escaped from the blogland. Although, I've been VERY busy with the kids.
My son is starting to go to a summer camp called the Cyber Camp, Monday to Friday 8AM to 3:30 PM.
It's held on U.S.M.C. Camp Pendleton and since we aren't live on this base, I have to drive up to this location. I can tell you, It's a heck of drive on Interstate 5!*LOL*



Meanwhile, I finish this little quilt. It's Jo Morton's pattern and called "Side by side" from her book "Small Quilts for Framing".



Hand pieced and hand quilting. size is 9"X13-1/4".




Unfortunately I think this book is OOP but I heard Jo is working on small & doll quilts book right now. Don't know when it will be publish though, I'm VERY anxious to see it.
I know it's gonna be another of my favorites. :-)

I love the quilt! Nine patch & saw tooth stars are some of my favorites. I need to get one of Jo Morton's books.

I love the quilt and cheddar is one of favorites colors in quilts to give them the old fashioned look.
I hope your son is having fun at camp;

I love this one, Lea. I need to find some cheddar for my stash. Could you recommend something? My LQS doesn't carry anything except Thimbleberries, thirties repros and those bright aqua/red/lime fabrics so popular now.
