Hi! I am Melissa Corry. I created this space as an extension to my blog to share my love of fabric, piecing, and quilting! I am a mom of 4 little ones so that means nap time and bed time equal quilting time. Check me out at my stomping grounds online at Happy Quilting.

I am so excited to be sharing this new Happy Quilting Quilt !!! Here is Andromeda!!! I have had the top pieced and half of the quilting done months and months ago, but it got pulled off the longarm for a deadline project and has been sitting there ever since.
