I'm going to take the kids to see my mom on Monday. And I'm hoping to have a few quilts mostly completed to show my mom. I've been working on Doll Quilt Swap 3. I have made two quilts to put up on flickr and hopefully my secret partner will say she likes one of them. The disappearing nine patch is almost done. I just need to finish the binding.
The other quilt I made for DQS3 is a row quilt. I really enjoy free-piecing, liberated quilting, wonky style - what ever you want to call it. And I've wanted to try a row quilt. A quilt with a row of this and a row of that. We were supposed to go visit my mom today, but Marguerite and I were not 100% healthy. So we took the day off to rest, and I spent the day sewing. I finished the top this afternoon, and finished quilting it this evening. I'm hoping to have the binding sewn to the front tomorrow so that I can hand stitch it down later.

The other task on the to-do list is to quilt Naomi's I spy quilt and stitch the binding to the front.
We will see. I also need to clean the pool and maybe mow the yard.

The fabrics in the disappearing 9-patch are gorgeous!!!
The quilt you designed is sooo pretty! I like the trees you put in there too, and the butterfly. It's going to be hard for your (VERY LUCKY) swap-partner to choose....
Hope you feel better!
you've been a busy bee this weekend! YAYYY!! See I had to not come to flickr so that you'd be a bit more productive. I was also nursing a semi-hangover with lack of sleep and 3 kids. ACK!
(ps~thank you for missing me today...you are so sweet)
Love the detail of the close up quilting, a little swirl and a heart, just wonderful!
Love the quilting detail! they are both great! wonder which she will 'choose'.
Love the quilt! Love the colors, the whole happy mood of it.
That is a totally cute quilt. Good job!
Wow, I LOVE the detail of your quilting. Machine quilting scares me I always muck it up.
