I love the fall and fall colors. It reminds me of family, security, comfort. The red dots represent my son (age 16) who plays tennis. My ex-husband and I adopted him from Bulgaria at age 2. I don’t have any Bulgarian fabric! The matryoshka dolls represent my daughter (21) who was born in Russia and adopted at age 3. I’ve been married for 5 years to my good friend from high school. He gets the red hearts because I love him dearly. Last but not least, I love coffee and my kitties. Oops, I forgot to take a picture of the back. Flowers make me happy so they cover the back of my mug rug!

I'm finishing mine up to send out today (you now know what a procrastinator I can be). This has been especially frustrating for me, because I've not been happy with the results so far. Especially in execution. But I'm learning a lot and am very inspired by all you've shared. I would do it VERY differently next time around (and not be coming in under the wire like I am today)...

jillian, lets see what you've done. From the first post I thought you were doing an incredible job. This is a learning experience on technique and design. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Here is my self-portrait...I love hearts and the color brown, buttons, parties and birthdays, roses, NYC, kaleidoscopes(the center fabric), gardening and flowers..the cow print represents where I live in Chino, CA. I love owls and polka dots. My favorite color is purple/lavender which is on the back. This has been so much fun! Very challenging for me. Thank you for letting me be a part of this swap!
