label for the quilt

I really like how the label turned out, so thought I would share it with you too :). Every quilt should have a label or at least some writing on the back saying who made it, when, and where for future reference when we are gone.

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
