Handmade Tokens of Love

My mom came to visit last week. She surprised me with this adorable throw...

I had picked out the fabric and pattern a couple years ago during a trip to Amish Country. My Mary Engelbreit addiction is accompanied by a love of Scottish Terriers. I was so amazed with the gorgeous hand stitching.

Then...


She brought in this framed beauty! I remembered her purchasing the Mary Engelbreit pattern book, but I was not sure she would get around to making anything. It is machine pieced and appliqued and hand quilted. I cried...

What a lucky daughter I am!!!

Mommy's Afternoon Off...ahhhh!

My 2 little ones spent from 11AM to 4PM with MIL. They haven't spent much time with her in the last week and she is going on a trip next week. So what did I do with my time?



Manga Dork is at home for the second day with the cold Wild Child shared with her. Soooo...we watched a stupid movie and That 70s show while I scrapped. I'll give you a hint what movie we watched.



He has Billy Ray's Achey Breaky haircut..."Is that where you wanna be when Jesus comes back?"..."That's what I'm talkin' about."..."Life's a garden, dig it!"..."Don't church it up son."..."Keep that skoal baby." Can you guess?



The quilt giveaway I posted earlier inspired me to share one of my creations. My Mom is an avid quilter and I sometimes get sucked in!




This is a closeup of the cute novelty fabric I used. I was a little lazy and "tacked" it instead of handquilting.
The yellow spreading in the back pasture is gorgeous! It is a really hazy day here.
Over at AMR I participated in a 3x3 deco square swap. I had a ton of Halloween paper I needed to use. This was fun! It felt good to get creative!


Happy Wednesday!
