Valori Wells Giveaway - What A Way To Start A Creative Day

My blog giveaway gift from Valori Wells arrived in the mail today. I've been following her blog for close to a year now and from time to time she has a giveaway - her latest was in honor of her 100th blog. And I was one of the lucky recipients. Some fun spring colors - hmm . . . what will I use them for?Today also included pinning my next quilt which, incidently, is made up of Valori's fabrics from her Olive Rose collection. This will be our camping and picnic quilt. I'm also going to experiment, for the first time, on the free motion quilting skills I recently learned in a class. Until now I've just been doing the stitch in the ditch and straight lines type of quilting.

I used some of the blues and greens from Valori's Urban Flannel collection as the back of a quilt I finished recently for Lesley. I like it a lot and the quilt turned out to be double-sided . . . either side makes a great top!

Have fun with her creative and inspiring work.
