Where did you get all those happy faces? and how did you fasten them on?

that he and his Dad had collected, his favorite book, etc. They were all
lovely and I'm going to finish them since I have found them again.
I'm sure he will love it when it's finished...even though that in this coming
month of May, 2010, he will be 42 years old. Sigh...I'm usually much
quicker to finish things than that. I thought. Can't wait to search through
all the boxes that were in that closet.

I was thinking I would like to raid your UFO stash.. its been there a while you might not even notice. I think they are marvelous. I love how the flowers from the sashing cascade down the front of the second quilt and the hearts are too precious on the first one!

Thank you all for all your nice comments. You sure know how to make a quilter feel good.
I will look through my UFOs and see if there might be anything any one would like to finish. I may even have some things finished that I have no use for, and can't even imagine why I made them in the first place.
I will post in the classified when I get them out. maybe can find homes for some of them.

It was some old cloth that I made a skirt for my daughter with. But, I saw some the other day in wall-Mart. So, they still sell the smiley faces. I actually hand stitched all 73 of them on, because, I got my sticky paper too hot and some were already beginning to come off.And because I know if it ends up in the nursing home laundry they're going to get brutal with it. So stitching was a good thing. I actually like to hand stitch.
