Fabulous Friday!

It seems like this week has flown by. Last weekend I had company and a meeting with my CPA and ended up sick on Sunday afternoon so it felt like my days off went fast. I'm hoping for a little slower weekend. 



I may have showed this already. It is part of a design by Rebekah Smith

Here's the first month of a mystery quilt designed by her as well. She has shown us the inspiration photo, but I still don't know what to expect.
 I've quilted my liberated baskets and am calling it Bounty of Baskets. I actually might quilt one more line in between.
I'm going to finish it first before I decide. 

Label and binding ready to be applied. 

Here's a sneak peak at the backing of a little quilt top I made (UFO). I am going to get it layered and quilted for the doll quilt swap, which I'll be setting up soon. You can read about the past two swaps HERE and HERE and HERE.   If you want to participate I'd like to know you in some way or have seen comments on my blog from you. If you are part of my Facebook group that doesn't mean you'll be in automatically. If you know you'll likely be participating it's not too early to start thinking about what quilt you will make.
Here's my instagram feed this week. 

Have a wonderful weekend.

  2. Your wool work is so beautiful! I love the Liberated baskets and I don't recognize that glorious blue serpentine fabric in the first basket. How did that one get past me? I had so much fun with your last doll Q swap, I'd love to participate in another.

  9. Lovely wool projects Lori, when I looked at the second one I thought tree. Then my second look I saw an elegant lady with long gloves waiting to have bracelets and chains draped on her arms...but wai she has four arms....must be a tree! Or she has a friend hiding behind her...have a great weekend.
