De received her quilt on Friday - Here is the message I received from her on Facebook
IT JUST GOT HERE AND IT LOOKS AWSOME!!!!! i cant thank you enough for all the work you did for me. thank you again so very much and i will let yo know how the family likes it. have a great weekend and i know we will do this again very soon. thank you thank you :DD de
I'm just so pleased that she is happy.
Friday I met with Lindsay and Phyllis. Phyllis picked up 2 and gave me one. Lindsay gave me one - and said she needed it by the end of the month. I loaded it on the frame on Saturday morning and started to work on it.
Isn't it so pretty? It is a disappearing 9 patch. Who knew scappy swaps could turn out with charm and so colorful! I worked on it Friday most of the day. Dinner time Bill thought I needed a break so we grabbed a sandwich in town, a frosty, and went driving around looking for land to buy.
Here is the start and the backing - Such a pretty color red (picture is a little fuzzy) Did you know it is extremely uncomfortable to try and get a picture of the backing by holding your camera upside down and UNDER the frame? BUT the finished results this afternoon are amazing! Look at this!
Lindsay - I just have to say this one was so much fun to work on! I never would have guessed that swap blocks could turn out so great! Very nicely put together to! Thanks for having trust in me Lindsay - see ya tomorrow. Now on to another one for Phyllis...should I do the scrappy one or the hand appliqued one?
After I pick one and (hopefully) get it done before Thursday.. I'm heading out for our Guild's spring retreat up at KY Dam Village. I went last spring's and had a great time and even finished a lot of UFOs. This year's plan is to work on my black/white/1color challenge for an upcoming retreat in June. Then if I get board working on that I have a jelly roll that I'm going to make something out of. If I can find my book.
Hope everyone survived the "spring" ahead clock change...all I know is I'm ready for a nap.
