In May, 2018, Charlotte-the-Tall and I had a travel adventure: we drove my new-to-me car from Portland, Oregon to Orange County, Calif by way of Spokane, Washington (to visit the Quilting Auntie) visiting quilt shops all along the way.
One of those shops was The Stitchin Post in Sisters, Oregon.
You may have heard of Sisters, Oregon because of the annual Sister's Outdoor Quilt Show.
While at the Stitchin Post, I purchased this fat quarter bundle.
Gleaned by Carolyn Friedlander (produced by Robert Kaufman).
Normally I do not purchase fat quarter bundles because usually there aren't enough fabrics in the bundle to complete an entire quilt project.
I made an exception with this bundle because the fabrics were so appealing and because it is a BIG bundle. I thought I stood a good chance.
Now, nearly three years later I have the perfect quilt...
Long Time Gone (LTG) by Jen Kingwell.
I've never tackled a project this challenging.

My fabric choices are not as intense.
I am still auditioning....LTG requires many different fabrics.

So, while I'm working on the June and July birthday quilts, I'll also be working on Long Time Gone.
Call me crazy, but I am so excited.
I do believe I have my quilting mojo back! And, this is one quilt I will keep for myself.
Beautiful
