A Quilter's Wonderland

Haven't Posted (Or Quilted) In Oh-So-Long

Here I am...again, starting all over again with my quilting and my blogging.  After almost a 2 year hiatus I guess I am back.  I have dug out my unfinished projects, and the patterns I have wanted to do for years, along with my fabric and a pact I would not buy one scrap of fabric unless I absolutely had to.  So here I am.  Please be patient and bear with me in my rambles (quilty and not-so-quilty).  So, again--here we go--off to many quilting adventures....

 

Back in 2006 (my last entry) I started a vintage Disneyland Hotel quilt.  After many moons, I have dug it out of the "Unfinished Quilts and projects" pile and finished the top today (Woo-Hoo!!!).  I didn't want to disrupt the integrity of the fabric, so I squared it up and added a simple pieced border. 

 

I am going to attempt to quilt it this weekend.  My vision for this quilt is to quilt Sleeping Beauty's Castle in the center with the title "Disneyland" hovering over the top of the castle with the old Disneyland Hotel lettering.  I found the lettering on the internet, so I thought I would go to Kinko's and get them to enlarge it for me to use as a stencil.  I'll see how that works out...you know, I always start my quilty vision with a delusion of grandeur and end up settling with stippling   Hopefully, that won't happen this time.

 

I will post the top next...just have to get my camera to do what I want...
