Its Here, Its Here, Its Here...

Strip Quilt Finished

Finished up binding the strip quilt this afternoon. I really love how this turned out. When I was FM quilting this I added a couple of hearts, candy canes and a little message for my son.

Still here! :)

I'm still here! Been busy with life. I have made a few things and finished some things. I crocheted some cute little snowflake ornaments for the Christmas tree and finished up the free motion quilting on my sons strip quilt. I still need to add the binding but the hard part is done! Im also awaiting the arrival of my "Ladies" quilt. My longarm quilter put it in the mail Thursday and the tracking shows it due here on Wednesday! Im so Excited to get this back, I just KNOW it's beautiful! I cant wait to give it to my sister and niece for Christmas. I also found the Perfect fabric to bind it with. Its a light pink with multi color dots that I think will just POP! Can you tell Im excited? I'm just so glad I could do this for my Mom. I miss her so much! Everyday I still have moments that I can't believe she is gone. One day I even had to call her phone number to get the message "The number you have called is no longer in service." Yes I cried like a baby, but I think I needed to hear that in order to "Get it" that she will no longer answer when I call.

Tree and Mug Rug

Here are my pics of the Christmas tree I promised and a mug rug I made this week in all of my chaos I call life. So far this week and this is only Tuesday, my husband had four wisdom teeth removed so Im baby sitting him, my 8 yr old St Bernard passed away last night and, buried her this morning and called to set up appointments for my kids flu shots after school on Thursday and me and my 18 yr old get our flu shots Saturday, and then all of the usual home stuff that every mom has to do daily, and with a husband home, in bed, but still cabable of making messes LOL... I feel wiped out already. Hoping things slow down. So here are the pics of the tree and mug rug. Stay tuned for hopefully a slower more quilt productive week :D

Been Busy!

Making these scrappy cards for a swap in a yahoo group. They are so fun and such a nice way to use up some of you small pieces of scraps that are too small really to use in anything but too big for me to talk myself into throwing away :D ... Hi, My name is Vicki and Im a fabric/scrap horder LOL ... and tonight I got the Christmas tree up! Phew, I wish it didnt look bad to leave it up year round, cause I dread taking it down as much as I dread putting it up. Last year it didnt come down until March LOL and only then at the insistance of my hubby. Ill get pictures of the tree tomorrow, too tired tonight.

Ladies Quilt ready to go to the quilter

Well it is finally going to the longarm quilter. I cant wait to get it back. It is on my daughters queen bed here, and it fits so nicely! Which btw was my son's bed until he moved out last week so she doesnt have the bed skirt and stuff to fit it yet :)

I'm so happy it turned out so good. My mom would be proud I think :) Love ya Mom!

I just LOVE this and had to share it. It just makes me smile :)
