Hello Everyone,

Today is Day 4 of the blog hop.  We have had some awesome giveaways thus far and some talented individuals involved in the blog hop!  Today you will be visiting, Penni and Kari.  Please tell them I said hello!

Today, I wanted to feature another quilt in my design collection for the Blue Moon Fabric Collection. Today I want to talk about Twisted.  This quilt was born out of a love for making things wonky.  But it was also a great way to showcase stripes!  The Blue Moon Collection has some fabulous stripes in it... so this was the perfect fit.  You can find the pattern here.

Hello Everyone,
