I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! I certainly did, but it would have been better if I had been able to have seen Mom. She will be home on the 22nd!
I quilted another quilt today on the frame! This quilt is just a simple nine patch that was made for my niece. Here is the story...A few years ago my SIL (brother's wife) lost her precious grandmother. They were very close. When she passed away she left Kellie (SIL) and my brother, John her home and everything in it. As they sorted through her things they found a large box of fabric. They gave it to me! :) This quilt was made from some of the fabric that was in the box. I thought that it might be special for my niece to have a quilt made with fabrics that belonged to her great grandmother. 
I think the fabrics in this are from 70's. I just did a simple stipple on this one. It is a QUEEN size quilt. That may seem large for a 7 yr old girl but she has a queen size bed.
I almost have the binding finished on the baby quilt that I did yesterday. After it is finished I will work on the binding on this one. I think I will give this to her for Christmas.

Here is another photo of Donkey, just kicked back and taking it easy! Silly cat! I get so much enjoyment out of just watching him sleep! :)
I probably will not get another quilt on the frame tomorrow, but hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday I can. Meanwhile, I will work on bindings!

It is so much fun watching you work your way through all those quilts! It is like a private showing of Kristi's quilts. Glad you had a good Mother's Day and I know your mom is looking forward to a day with you when she gets home.
