9 down, two to go. Making progress on the graduation quilts, and loving each one more than its predecessor.  This quilt, called Snapshots, is from the book 'Happy Hour'.  (It goes together quickly and smoothly if you need a quilt in a jiffy.  And, of course, you get to play with all your fabric!).  It is so appropriately named for my project. Many happy hours spent watching my daughter and her friends together and taking lots of snapshots. These kids will be scattering like leaves to various colleges across the country next fall.  I'm hoping that when they crawl under their quilt it will help give them a sense of connection to one another.  We've watched them go from kindergartners to wonderful young adults, full of potential and with so many adventures awaiting them.  I'm not sure what an empty nest will bring for me, but more than likely I'll find more time in the studio :)
