| 2010 Village BOM |
This quilt was designed by members of the Yahoo Group "Stroll the Block".
This was the first BOM that I had ever hosted.
The members volunteered to make one block. They all did a fabulous job. I enjoyed looking at each block while I was quilting it. It's a shame that the detail doesn't come through in the pics.

I don't remember the whole story, but the designer named the dress shop "G.W. Boutique". Either a family member or friend used to dress very well and people would ask her where she got her clothes and she would tell them "G.W. Boutique!" I thought it was a cute story.

Quilting the Border
You can't see it too well in this picture, but I quilted houses and trucks on the border around the village.
The quilting was inspired by Lori Kennedy's newest book "Free-Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3".
