I also got a card and flowers from my daughter yesterday:


In other news, I just tossed the quilt in the washing machine. I started this on April 26th as a last minute, hair-brained idea to make a challenge quilt for tomorrow's quilt guild meeting! I just finished the binding today. I started sewing the binding at 8am this morning and finished it at 5pm. It is a queen/king size quilt. There are lots of pansies on it. The backing was pieced as well, with 30 blocks!
I had lots of help though. eQuilter's customer service helped me find that light green fabric from a scan I sent them. They shipped it very fast to me and I was so pleased to see how well it matched my fabric! Then the cats helped me load the quilt on the frame:
I did three styles of quilting on it. I did a vine/leaf pattern in the purple, a variation of a swirl in the green and on the flowers I did a large simple stipple.

Happiest Mom's Day to you too for both you and your Mom! :)
You deserved a nice Mother's Day! And, love the pansy quilt-you must have been stitching with a hot needle to get finished that fast! Good going!
Thank you Cheryl! It was a fast and fun challenge.
