Pink Quilt and the Shibori Dragon

I finished hand-stitching this pink quilt in the wee hours this morning. While sewing, I watched a documentary about the importance of supporting local businesses over box stores. That being on my mind, I perused the yellow pages this morning and found that we do indeed have a local quilting supply store, The Shibori Dragon. The Artist and I headed over there and she and I had a great time browsing, as she helped me pick out four gorgeous fat quarters for an upcoming project. You can drool a little yourself over their selection here if you want to, although I highly recommend an in-person visit, if you can do it. It is a place full of beautiful things. As I have found with photographing my quilts, fabrics really need to be seen first-hand to be appreciated fully.

I'm especially excited about finishing this little quilt, because it is going to our church quilt drive, and I have for so long wanted to make and donate a quilt like this. I am amazed that I actually finished it. It is a triumph for me.

I hope some little girl loves this quilt until the fabric thins and wears away to nothing, as my little girls have loved the simple quilts I made so long ago for them.
