Mother's Day

My daughter Kaitlyn and I on Mother's Day......

remiss in posting

Things have been so crazy here that I haven't had a chance to post. Although on spring break,it seems like there hasn't been time. Probably because my MIL is visiting. Company has a way of taking up your time. I did manage to finish up all my swaps though. Now to just get them to the post office! This little number is off to Mari in Norway. Its for the Mini QUilt in a Bag Lovely Logs swap. She requested something springy....most of you know me and know this one is WAAAY outta my comfort zone! I think its pretty though,and hope she will like it. I wish you could see how nice and crinkly it got after washing and drying.

New Lap Quilt Squares

These are the squares I will be making for my next lap quilt....again (what else?)civil war prints. Using a black print for the center square,then a lighter fabric round,followed by a medium dark round. I really like the richness of these fabrics together as well as the simplicity of the block. It's all about the fabric after all!

Potholder Swap-Wanna Play?

I am having a potholder swap....here are the specifics:
1.I will swap with anyone wanting to play.
2.Make and send a potholder (any medium as long as it is homemade)along with a recipe card that you have handwritten a favorite cookie recipe. I will have mine sent before the end of May.....probably way before. :)
3.Post some pictures,bake some cookies!

Sound fun? Just email me if interested:

Doll Quilt Swap 6-Done!

Hot off the press! This little gem which I have deemed "Blue Suede Truffles" is for my partner in round 6 of The Doll Quilt Swap. I just love it and plan to make a lap sized one for myself if I can locate more of the yummy Thimbleberries blue print from 2007!

DQS6 Updates

My swap bebes must all be busy in their sweat shops....no news to report! Well....several emailed me to email their partners for more info on such things like color......guess everyone is busy creating! :)

A Little Fabric,a Little Chocolate Swap

This lovely grouping came from Carol for the Little Fabric Little Chocolate swap FLickr group.....does it get any better than fabric and chocolate?! She sent several civil war repro FQs (my absolute favorites!)a great little zippered pouch and traveling tea carrier she made,some lovely photos,and 2 huge bars of chocolate. Ok....I know there is only one in the picture. That would be because my daughter and I pretty much devoured one right when we opened the package! :) Thanks Carol! Hop on over and join this group and join in on the fun!

Speaking of joining groups and swaps.....my dad (tlewishindes)and I are retooling the "Mini QUilt in a Bag" swap group. New info and a new round are coming in a week ! We'd love to have you if you are a serious swapper and as hooked as we are! :)
