Today I'm going to get #1's quilt finished, I hope. I didn't get anything accomplished on it in the last week and it's tying up the Bernina. I hope to have a pic to show you in the next few days.
My Mom did come and we went to see the movie (very good) and shopped around town and had a great time. She spent the night and went home late Friday afternoon. It's hard for her to go home to an empty house I know, but it is good for her to get out and keep on living. She's not a quilter although she has made one quilt 20 years ago for my sister (my Grandma and I helped) and it was stolen when her home was broken in to. :0( Mom likes to paint and will be going to Maine this fall to study with an old friend/teacher she used to take lessons from, very exciting!
Here are pics of a couple of quilts that I've made. The first one is a panel that I sewed the borders on to. I backed it with flannel and it will be a comfy cozy snugly winter quilt that I'm sure the entire family will fight for. The second quilt is made up of tons of flying geese and pinwheels and prairie points. It is made from a magazine pattern a few years back. I quilted this one also. Well enough blogging about my boring life for one day and off to quilt!
Later,

I like the quilts you are showing. The one with the flying geese is especially nice, but you are right, it will be the first one people will fight over. Why is it that some quilts just holler out "comfort here"! lol. Glad you and your mother had a good visit.
Like your Blended quilts. I rarely see many online. They are my favorite and yours are very nice. It seems that you have met up with Piece Keepers shop http://www.piecekeepersonline.com/ for the lovely fabric and the pattern with the big print fabric center and pieced border. It is beautiful! I have one attempt at a blended quilt on my blog and blocks in progress. Maybe we need a Blended quilt blog!
Enjoyed your site :)
