Week ends with a flurry!

Well, the week sure ended with a flurry! No, not snow (darn, it's sure cold enough!), but a flurry of finishes! That Memory wall quilt is finally done, and I also finished putting the beads on another M Designs tree...the Dream Tree! Four down and five to go for another wall hanging...
Here are the pics....the quilt is based on the attic window pattern, but since the windows are different, I dubbed it a Memory quilt for our friends in Iowa.

and

And my friend Carolyn will be happy to know I finally took a picture of my Holland Landscapes by Chatelaine....so far I am done thru part 5, plus the tulips over the top window. The fabric is from Silkweaver, and is called Dreamin'. I'm going to work on it all next week after I finish a biscornu from Sweetheart Tree. I have a baskeball game to watch this afternoon (Duke is playing Georgetown) and didn't want to deal with the big Chatelaine while trying to watch!


Carolyn gave me a Fabby Award, and I'm happy, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do!

Help!

  1. Found your blog through Carolyn and just wanted to comment on your Holland! It's gorgeous and the material is a great match. I am working on my first Chatelaine too, I am doing Tuscany Town Mandela and have parts of the final 11 and 12 to complete.

  2. Lovely quilt and tree. I was drooling over the close up pics from the tree and your Holland Mandala. Makes me wanting to start mine soon to.
    Ohhh...and the award. If I understood correctly you have to copy the picture, put it on your blog, write down your stuff, and add 5 links to other blogs? At least that was what I was planning to do tonight with my own nomination...lol.

  3. OMgoodness - I'm almost speechless. It gets prettier and prettier each time I see it. I am going to have to get this one. Not sure when in the heck I'm going to stitch it, but it's a must. Just like the Hawaiian (which Gabi has stitched - gorgeous, gorgeous!)I'm sure you've seen hers.
    To the quilt, I don't even remember this one, but I love it. Trees are looking good, too. WTG

    Thanks for the hint on how to do the right thing on the Award from Carolyn (blushing!)
    As for the "critter thing" kaghos...I assume you mean the cat paw name badge...it's a Stitchy Kitty design, and I added a link. Off to make a list of addictions!
