This flamingo picture was painted by my brother's girlfriend Tiffany for my dad's girlfriend Margie. My sister came up with the idea to commision her to do it as a comfort to Margie who is now living without my dad...so we will get this mailed off to her. She loves all things flamingo so it will be a hit! I personally love the leaves Tiffany painted!
I guess I also never posted a picture of my Cindy Lou Who Schnibbles Quilt after I got the binding on! This one was done right around the new year and is hanging from our railing.
Bonnie K. Hunter's new book "Adventures in Leaders and Enders" arrived a few days ago and it has been hard to decide which quilt in it is my favorite. This one called Sister's Nine Patch might be my favorite. Bonnie autographed the book for me but it was hard to show that in a picture! If you haven't bought this one and love Bonnie or scrappy quilts go to her website quiltville.com and order it...she will autograph it for you too!
I also got a new magazine in the mail and fell in love with this quilt in it. The mag is upstairs and I can't remember which one it was but isn't that quilt sweet?(edit: American Patchwork and Quilting April 2010) I may have to add this to my to do list!
On the NewQuiltingClub Yahoo group I was voted the winner a few months ago for Cindy Lou Who! They sent me this awesome blue ribbon with NQC on it and I trimmed it down and sewed in on the back of Cindy Lou Who. (I won one previously and that one is still not sewn on the quilt but is on my bulletin board--it is on my to do list!)
On Thursday I met up with Ros and she took this Quitz Mystery quilt and did her magic with the quilting and had BJ deliver it to me today. Thanks to both gals for getting this back to me so quickly! The other day I made the binding and so I came home took the outdoor pic and then sewed on the binding and the I love you hand label by machine, then handsewed the binding on. You can see the teddy bears Ayla requested on the back too. I can't wait to get a picture of her with it!
