I have a lot I want to get through, but at my current pace, I can't see me achieving much. For the past hour, I've been cruising the Pioneer Woman's site again. Last week I found it for the first time through someone's link, and totally lost my window of time to get to the grocery store while I immersed myself in her love story. If you have a free afternoon, or even a little time to kill, be sure to stop by - you won't be disappointed.
Anyways, back to the title of the post ... this is Jenny's quilt:
I love love love it! I'm not certain, but I think the pattern is called 'Hearts and Gizzards'. It's made in the loveliest Civil War Repro prints, which I just adore. It was a pleasure to quilt on, and it's a crying shame this quilt isn't going to stay and live with me :-)
This one is going onto my list of 'quilts I'd like to make some day'. A list that grows longer and longer with each day that passes.
Okay - I've allowed my mug of 'very strong coffee' to soak in, so I really must get busy around here. I have laundry to fold and put away, things to pack, and rooms to tidy. Maybe I should put the Stepford Wives on again ...
Talk soon ...

Pioneer Woman - what a wonderful website. Don't even think about popping on few just a few minutes to check it out - you won't be able to do it. So much to look at, what an amazing time waster. Thanks Tara.................!!
Wow her quilt is simply fabulous. I love those fabrics. I adore that block but I just cannot seem to conquer it. I have one now that I am hand piecing and it is a nightmare! I would have a hard time letting that quilt go also. I guess I will never be a longarmer afterall! LOL

Yep, it IS stunning! The colors are so calming, and we don't see this pattern often (due to it's name?)
