GOOD STUFF.



ALL GOOD STUFF TODAY!!!

I whipped up the quilting on a new quilt yesterday, it felt GOOD to get that done!  Then I scanned my emails to see what was new, and this picture arrived!

KJ & DJ
How ADORABLE is this?  My GOOD Friend Ayana's twin boys at their baptism! Ooh, I just want to go snuggle them both... SOON!  That just made me SMILE!!!



I had reason to whip up another quilt for someone battling something, not fun...but GOOD that we can all help. So I grabbed 12 blocks from the stash of ANVIL blocks for these quilts, and whipped this up quick yesterday.. I am going to quilt it now, quickly, wash, bind and post today...  The blocks you guys sent to make these quilts for peeps who need a quilt hug, have been life savers...THANK YOU!  This is quilt #2 out of that batch of blocks, and I have enough for one more... In the past month alone, three friends were diagnosed with some sort of cancer... I hope this one brightens her day a bit, with all the love that went into these blocks from you guys...


A squishy package arrived for me today! SILKS!  Thanks Sarah for these beauties! THANK YOU! I must think about a second silk quilt!  These are so lovely!  I must play! This made my day!


And lastly, here's my two dress options for tonight... (So excited for my man!) I let my hubby pick both dresses, and also let him pick which I will wear tonight...
The foxy red one or the 1950's vintage Sequin number....
Guess what he chose?

He chose Sparkles!  ;-) the winner. He's happy!

Pics tomorrow.

Can you think of a good quilt-y deed to do today?
What if we all popped a package a scraps off to a dear quilt-y friend, just to surprise them?
Just because?

Make someone smile today.

  1. I deleted my earlier comment as I didn't see your last sentence that hubby had chosen the sparkle, I said he'd choose the red number, I like that one the best, but if I'd seen the sparkle on I'd probably chose that too. Lovely dresses both!

    Have a great time!

  10. Such a lovely little quilt! Mailing such boxes of fabric therapy to friends has been such a blessing for me, also. We grow our "stashes", tending them diligently for that special quilt that may/may not ever materialize, so sharing the wealth is most definitely a 'good thing'. The twins just beg a huge squeeze! Hugs, Doreen

  12. YES! Sparkles rule in my world as well! Not that you don't look lovely in the other dress. Tell me, will you be donning the "pop art" make-up as appears in your caricature photo with the sparkly dress? LOL JK Godspeed to your friend.
