What I've Been Up Too

My 4 Seasons Spring Swap is in the mail and should reach it's new home in a few days. I finished quilting a twin size 100% polyester quilt for Becky. She asked me to quilt it for her I thought it would be no problem. Well, I was wrong! LOL I've decided I will never quilt a polyester quilt again. When she dropped it off she told me she just wanted it made into a quilt not to worry about or stress over it. She was laughing as she handed it to me. When I saw it I laughed also. She bought it from a thirft store for $2.00 it was full of holes and open seams. ( she should have left it there) LOL Anyways, She's happy with it and I have a few more gray hairs.

Here's my quilt for the Spring Swap, I decided on the small floral print and the dark green for the binding. This weekend I'm going shopping for a few special goodies to add for my partner and will have it in the mail next week.. :) I hope she likes it. This is my first 4SeasonSwap it's been so much fun surfing around blog land seeing all the wonderful quilts! The other day I noticed these cute little Raggedy Ann dolls,which inspired me to make one. (see photo below this post) I didn't have the paint for her socks or shoes so my Annie is barefoot. LOL I think she's cute with her crooked smile and bloomers! For anyone that might be interested you will find a free pattern for the Raggedy Annie doll at Bowls -N- Annies !

Spring Swap Quilt

I've been working on my spring swap quilt this is what I have so far. I haven't decided on the outside border and would value any comments or suggestion. I did manage to get my frame up with some help from my DD. I have 3 quilts waiting patiently to be quilted.

My Favorite Most Used Pincushion

BlueBerry Lane Designs is asking that we show our favorite most used pincushion. Here is mine, my daughter made her for me years ago. It's very sentimental to me. I tried to comb her hair before I took the photo it's still kinda fuzzy, but she doesn't mind at all! LOL Don't forget to stop by Lynette Anderson Designs and see her free Noahs Ark BOM stitch-along. I can't wait to get started on this!! Sew much fun! :)

This is what I'm working on today! Finally decided to tackle my frame or will it tackle me? LOL It's been too long so it will be nice to have her up and running again. This weekend I'm going to Quilt's by the River 2008 show very excited about that I love going to shows. If I'm lucky I'll also get to do a little shopping. Now, let's get this frame up and have a great weekend!

The weather is so nice it's a beautiful day! It puts me in the mood for some spring cleaning and organizing. I took a little trip to my LQS this weekend and found this book titled Laps From Fats along with a few 2 for 1 fabrics. I can NEVER resist the sale fabrics! :)
