Wonky Homes Wall Quilt

Made this cute little quilt to hang in my sewing room. All the blocks are each made by a different talented lady that I met through swap-bot. We each made 10 blocks and mailed 1 block to each of the 9 people in the swap. I didnt add my block this, just the lattice and binding and then I did some more practice free motion quilting. Around the homes I did some curly miandering and then in the lattice I did some flower and vine miandering. If you click the picture u can see it larger and maybe see the quilting better. Isn't is just so cute! I love these wonky homes!

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.

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.
