Woo Hoo! All of the love blocks are finished! Come on everyone! Let's show some of yours as they are finished! I will continue to show some as I finish the "extra" blocks for my quilt.

ssnare 05-12-2012 07:01 AM

Ok. I will join. I do not know how many sets yet. I love the little mirror, Ms Grace.

RedGarnet222 05-12-2012 07:43 AM

Should I change it?
The block measures 9.5"

Happy Mother's Day ladies! We are having a bbq here today with family. I hope your day is filled with love and happiness.

QuilterMomma 05-13-2012 03:26 PM

i MUST STAY THAT ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS SURPRISED ME SO MUCH BY COMING HOME FROM COLLEGE AND SHE ALREADY THOGHT OF MOTHER'S DAY A MONTH AGO AND PLANNED IT AS SUCH. I FELT SO SPECIAL. THEN I GOT A SWIVEL CUTTING MAT THAT WILL BE SO HELPFUL IN CUTTING, A PERRY T SHIRT WITH A COLLECTOR PHINEAS AND FERB PIN. I EVEN GOT FIVE FAT QUARETERS THEN FRENCH RULERS FOR MY QUILT DESIGNING AND LOTS OF LOTHION TO SOFTEN MY HANDS FROM THE QUILTING. I AM SO BLESSED. THEN THE HUBBY GOT ME AN IPHONE SO I CAN KYPE WITH CHILDREN AS WELL. OH SO BLESSED I AM.

Judith1005 05-13-2012 06:04 PM

Whew, Quilter Momma, you definitely got me beat. I'm so very glad your family treated you as top momma for the day. :) It sounds wonderful.

I hope your hand/arm is doing well. Can't wait to see what blocks you come up with.

Sandy, A BBQ sounds awesome as well. You earned a well deserved break and quality time with the family. :)
I love all your blocks so far. I'm particularly fond of the kitty cat on the vanity. (Shades of my daughter sitting at hers when she was younger.)

To all you moms of the 2-legged variety or 4-legged variety....Happy Mother's Day!

I haven't started my blocks yet...But, I know exactly which ones I'm going to make. I really had to think about what blocks to add to the mix that would feel right. It definitely got easier when I started to think of what my favorites were. Then of course I had to rein in the ideas. lol :) I look forward to seeing sneaky peaks of everyones blocks. I hope to have a set done by the end of the week.

Sandy, I will definitely have my blocks to you early. My daughters baby is due in early October. My first grandbaby. It's a boy. I definitely want to be with her. :)

Thanks mariposa!

quiltermomma.... wow! You cleaned up! I got mixed live flowering plants for all of my big accent pots and hangers. Eight of them. But, that is what I wanted. I don't need anything really.

Thanks Ms Grace... I will sure make a point of trying to sort one to you.

QuilterMomma 05-14-2012 01:46 PM

I am a quilting diva for rulers and tools. Since I do custom quilting and longarm, the design rulers are going to be such a help. On the doll quilt swap, they may end up with some whole cloth quilts while I get it perfected for designing. And of course, will help with the trimming of swap blocks. The mat is 6.5" so perfect for that kind of work. Have to wait a little longer, hand not ready for holding ruler, can't hold firm enough yet. I was just so excited ladies that I wanted to share. You may see a couple pieces of that fabric in your blocks on this swap. Well, back to work

RedGarnet222 05-14-2012 02:48 PM

Me too quiltermomma! I love tools and rulers and patterns. But, my family wouldn't have a clue what to get me, so they sometimes buy me a gift certificate to my favorite quilt store or the Hancock fabric store. That is so fun to go in and blow a hundred bucks on quilting things. LOL!

QuilterMomma 05-15-2012 09:35 AM

That is always fun to just go and spend money at the LQS,

Now just to get my machine to cooperate!

Mariposa 05-17-2012 07:13 AM

ssnare 05-17-2012 02:31 PM

Ms Grace, love the mirrors and poodle. I hope I get a poodle. I hope I get a pink high heel shoe and a LOVE block too. I found some lady bug fabric and flower fabric. I will have to think what to do with them.

RedGarnet222 05-17-2012 05:47 PM

I'll probably do this one, and have several ideas already in the works. LOVE the blocks that have been posted so far! :thumbup:

Will send a PM when I know for sure how many sets (probably 4). :)

RedGarnet222 05-18-2012 06:24 AM

Yippee! I am so glad to have you two in the swap with us. So excited to see your "favorite Things" blocks that you come up with. Isn't this fun?

QuilterMomma 05-18-2012 08:13 AM

I so have to have Mr. Grace's Pink Poodle. It will keep Cuddles, who passed away, in my heart even more. Please please please remember that Red. Put it down on your list. Oh I so want one of those blocks.

QuilterMomma 05-18-2012 08:14 AM

Did I beg enough?

Ms Grace 05-18-2012 08:20 AM

You are breaking my heart!:( I'd like to make 1 special for you.
Please pm me your address & what color poodle you would like. But please, do not call me Mr.:eek: Would you like me to embroidery a name on it for you?

Oh so sorry about my typing. Not sure what happened to fingers. That is the surgery hand that is to touch the correct letters. Must have decided to go on its own again.

Ms Grace 05-18-2012 04:56 PM

Thanks! That means alot to me.:o

No problem. Check your pm's.:)

mdall 05-20-2012 06:05 AM

Well, finally decided no to swap the pp flower block due to the color choices making it muddy and instead I have started on a block that is truely one of my favortie things, CUPCAKES. They are blue and white, done in stripes and sprinkles fabrics and they are so cute. Will post pics when they are done. It's my first attempt at appliques with lots of curves so I hope the decorative stitching comes out okay on them as I will be trying some of the stitches out on my new machine. Hope someone loves cupcakes.

RedGarnet222 05-20-2012 08:48 AM

I love cupcakes! Enjoy your new machine and have fun with your blocks. They sound adorable.

ssnare 05-20-2012 09:31 AM
