be trimmed and binding that needs tacking. I am also not thoroughly impressed with my quilting in the orange border. I like the concept, but, Lola thinks it looks like toes. She has some strange feet phobia. I am patiently waiting to find out what the May UFO Challenge is. Lola would really like it if I went back and finished January’s UFO, the dreaded Alaskan Christmas Quilt. Can you say problems? It is the “lets have the fabric bleed all over everything quilt”. I am hoping for #8….Christmas Table Runner. This would be a quick one and it would give me time to paint the inside of the house before the girls finish school for the year.Here’s to a few days of not quilting….the family would like to spend some time with me.
I would love to hear from you mom’s out there. What would you like for Mother’s Day? I am thinking of a few things for mine. I am always open to creative ideas. I also am having a hard time answering that question for my own daughters. It was suggested that I get the gift of the family straightening my sew room—NOOOOOOO! Lola also has a little OCD about organization. I find this funny when I open her dresser drawers.
Happy Quilting,

Hooray! It looks awesome! I can't see the toes too well, but enough to understand the reference. I think they look fine. As for Mother's Day, I'm not a mom, but found a place that sells kits to grow your own morel mushrooms for mine. Shhh! I hope she likes it because I know she hunts them every spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! Last week you only had one row of flowers partly done. Now they are all done - and it's quilted! Good for you! As far as the Mother's Day present is concerned - tell them you want your house professionally cleaned (except your sewing room, of course). You can sew/organize while someone else does your Spring Cleaning! That was my present (a little early) and I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is stunning! So very bright and vibrant! Mother's Day? Every day for me is Mother's Day!

I love that quilt!!!! I can not believe you got all those flowers done. Yikes! Did you sleep? At all? It is happy, fun, and beautiful. I couldn't really tell about the quilting (old eyes) but didn't look like toes to me. LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family!
It's such a beautiful quilt. For Mother's Day I'd like an fully automatic self cleaning expresso/ cappucinno machine. Will be happy with flowers and chocolate. Or a card and a hug. Just the hug even. Ann :-)
ReplyDeleteYour April UFO is beautiful! As for Mother's Day -- I received the gift of a family photo session a few years ago. It was a lot of fun.

Great job on your applique! You have made a very pretty and colorful quilt! You should be very proud of it! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful, I love all the fun colors! For Mother's day I would be happy with a card or phone call from my kids. My Mom is getting a card, she insists she doesn't need anything. You could always request a gift card for your favorite quilt shop so you can get more fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat happy colors--congrats on a lovely finish--you accomplished a bunch! My mom is getting some organizer drawers for her kitchen cupboards (if they work) from Lowe's. I would love a new iron or dreaming big, how about a sewing machine! I'd be happy with some new dishtowels or a couple hugs though.
ReplyDeleteIt's an adorable quilt! I think it looks like feathers or flower petals on the orange. Not a mother, so I can't comment on that factor! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt...great job!
ReplyDeleteA very lovely quilt with beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteOne year my son bought me a set of kitchen knives because he said I never had a sharp knife when he was over. A few years later I explained to him that his gift was for him and not me. He doesn't shop on his own anymore. We came to an understanding and now I email him with the product number, link and pertinent information and he says it works a lot better for him (and me.) This year I am getting a BooS Block cutting board, which is kinda funny since I did not like the knives. Maybe I can use by Gingher Rotary cutter he gave me last year. LoL Happy Mother's Day to all from Judy C.
