A Fun Little Quilt


I have a wonderful friend that is so much fun. I wanted to make her a little gift. One that she could call all hers and the little art quilt above is it! As most of you know I am definitely not an art quilter. Never have been, never will be! But with that said the more I thought about the little quilt I would be creating for her the more I thought it had to be a one of a kind. One that read: crazy, and just a little out of whack. Terms we could use for each other. It is not perfect, my machine quilting is just awful, but I had fun and I know she will appreciate it. She is a quilter too and would never expect this from me.
I had a pretty productive Sunday. I also was able to get the binding machine stitched onto my maple leaf quilt. Now to stitch it down by hand then I will get a picture. I am off to the baseball field. This week is our sectional showdown. My husband’s high school team could possibly meet up with our son’s high school team at some point. It makes for a lot of fun at home.
And one more note, I heard from my oldest son last night and he has already seen moose, bison, eagles and a mother bear with her cubs. He sounded happy!
A salute to all that are serving our country and to those whom have already served!

Wow, that is so not you - but very cute! I can think on someone who is a bit crazy and keeps us laughing! Is it for her big 5-0?

So glad you heard from Jess, and I"m so happy he is happy. I know it is hard, but it sounds like it is going well.

Maybe every girl has an 'art quilt' in her *s* So glad to hear your son is doing well and enjoying himself.

Who do you cheer for in the baseball rivalry?

This is a charming little quilt and I know your friend will love it!

We spent some time in the Tetons a few years ago and I can understand why your son would want to live there. That area is so beautiful.

One thing I find that quilts love to get is a quilty gift! We rarely make anything for ourselves. I think she will love this!

That little quilt is cheerful and bright -- and just a *little* off. I'm sure your friend will love it -- I know I do!

What a fun quilt. Good luck with the baseball...my brother and I were on track teams that ran against each other. We were banned from talking about it at the dinner table!
