Comfort and Joy, Joy, Joy!

 


Comfort and Joy is finished! I added the binding at the retreat last weekend. It still needs a label and sleeve, but other than that, it is DONE. I've enjoyed every step of this project. Seeing the amazing Pat Wys when she came to our guild (okay, I'm the program chair and I booked her, what can I say!?) I had just bought the pattern from her when Anne at Cottons n' Wool asked if anyone wanted to do a quilt along with this pattern. The timing was perfect, and the others who joined in inspired me more than I can say. Some of their choices and details are simply wonderful. Anne couldn't be any nicer, and she kept us organized and on track, sending us helpful reminder emails. Thanks again Anne!!!



This journey was a wonderful adventure, and I am so thankful to have been a part of it. Now go see Anne for the links to the other quilts.  But be warned...you just may find yourself wanting to make one too!

Enjoy every stitch!
Diane
