National Quilting Day

It would be wrong of me not to post on my quilting blog on National Quilting Day so I've thrown together a little something here to shock and awe.

Last weekend was the Jackson's Mill Quilt retreat.  I had a fantastic time and I promise a post dedicated solely to that sometime this weekend.  Real life intervened when I got home and between work, physical therapy and doctors visits ... and my secret project ... I've hardly slowed down 10 minutes.

Today I plan to visit my local quilt shop, Quilts by Phyllis, and pick up a few 30's fat quarters to work with.

So on to my "secret project" ... I have to say I'm so proud of myself for not spilling the beans on this one.  This has been in the works for several weeks and I've not uttered much of a peep about it which is completely unlike me because this project has to do with something else I'm passionate about ... tattoos. 

So in honor of National Quilting day I'm proud to unveil the first of three sittings for my new tattoo .....

Two things near and dear to my heart ... Simba (at the top) and my Singer

Yes, I'm crazy .... yes, it's huge .... and YES, I LOVE IT!!

Happy National Quilting Day, Folks!!
