Another Mail Call!

Look what came in the mail today!

From my friend, Kelley, who blogs here.

She has sent me boxes before.

She warned me that this one was heavy...and it was!

She sure can pack a lot of fabric in a box!

The fabric in back...the stars and such...

that is all yardage...WOW!!! 

The fabric in front...those are all fat eighths (at least).

And, these books...

haven't looked too closely at the one on the right,

but the one on the left...

I think I must make every quilt in it!

Help! 

I must say, I have the best friends!

I know I do.

Even if I seem to take them for granted.

I truly don't.

I am blessed, indeed. 

 Thank you so very much, Kelley!

Whirlygig Quilt Done!

Finally done!

I started this Charmed Whirlygig quilt almost 7 months ago. It's been done for a long while, but has been sitting here waiting for me to get around to quilting/finishing it. Got motivated & quilted it Tuesday, finished hand sewing the binding on last night. Got it washed, dried...all crinkly and soft. Made with the 'blossom' fabric collection by Urban Chiks for Moda and Kona cotton solid in 'snow'. Measures 55 x 62.

A few close-ups...this is my first binding cut on the bias...LOVE it!

I really wanted to show off this fabric. I had to put two pieces together to get the width I needed, but you can't even tell where the seam is. (yay for me!) The big flowers (not counting the leaves) measure 7 inches.

I am very happy that today is Friday.

Not sure what I'll be doing this weekend.

What do you have planned?

A Good Weekend...

Yup, I had a good one.
It's always a good feeling to

cross a few things off my list.
And, to top it off, I received a special surprise! 


Remember the pillowcase I showed yesterday?
I did finish the 2nd one, so 
Julie will have a pair to match her quilt.

More done...
Here's the stacked coins quilt I first blogged about here...

now completely finished and laundered...all soft and crinkly.

 

And, I finished all my blocks for the whirlygig quiltalong 

(see my sidebar for the link).

I received a very early - and special - birthday present yesterday

from Lindy (see her blog here).

We met on Wool Snippets several years ago.

Lindy's birthday is the day before mine, which 
makes us almost birthday twins!

I LOVE all of the quilty goodness she sent.

Thank you so much, Lindy!

That's all I have.
