In just the nick of time I've joined parkcity girls first online quilt festival. http://parkcitygirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/quilt-festival-spring-2009.html

I don't have alot of quilts to choose from as I am pretty new to the quilt world. It wasn't hard to pick though as I absolutely love Isabella's quilt! I made this quilt for my niece Isabella for her first birthday and it just makes you smile just like she makes me smile. She is a little angel who I love sooooo much. She was born with gastrocysis(where the bowel is outside the belly) so had a bit of a rough start but has healed wonderfully and is an absolute doll. This quilt is unique as it has a few concepts going as you can see. I got the wonderful *free* applique pattern from http://dontlooknow.typepad.com/dont_look_now/
Here she is with her new quilt and she even let me take it back for a bit for our quilt show that my guild is putting on this weekend. Thanks Isabella...Auntie loves you, xoxoxo

  19. Beautiful quilt and beautiful little girl too! They make a great set!
    I was thinking of you and wanted to let you know I just `finally` finished the machine quilting on my nine patch... the one that's like yours! I ran out of thread and it took quite a while to find something that would work to get it finished. Hopefully I can bind tomorrow and post on Monday... at least that's tha plan!
    Have a great Sunday!
    Blessings, Kimberly
