My finished Madeline quilt and some amazing mail.......

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a good day. It is very hot here today. I'm very thankful that we have central air, otherwise I would not have been able to sleep today. I finished my Madeline quilt last night. It has a lot of hand quilting in it. But I love it. It is one of my favorite quilts. I hope you like it.

I also received my potholder pass 3 package today. It's from Kelli, and came all the way from Australia. I just love my potholders. She included some wonderful extras. She sent some Tim Tam's, a wonderful pen and key chain with the Australian flag and for my daughter B-sew cute, she sent two charm packs of Sweet. My daughter was so excited. She said: " I have fans....I have fans... you better watch out Mommy!" I started to laugh. She is so cute. Thanks you so much Kelli. It just made my day.

Hand quilting my Madeline quilt

First I would like to wish all the Mother's a happy Mother's Day. I had a quite day. I worked midnight shift the night before, and only got home after 7:00 am. So I slept most of the day. That's why I'm blogging at the wee hours of the morning. I can't sleep now. Anyways, I worked all weekend and everything went well. It was quiet and no big dramas. Gotta love that.

I did bring my Madeline quilt with me to help keep me awake during the none busy times. I got a good chunk of the quilting done. I'm really enjoying quilting it. I have a little more than half of the quilt left to do. But I will continue to work at it this week. I hope you like it.

My Madeline quilt top is done

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a great day.

Today was my last day off.

I go back to work tomorrow.

 So, I took a "me" day today.

I relaxed this morning.

Then I went out to lunch with Michelle (Dresden Quilter).

It was our first lunch out together, so that was nice.

Then I went to a couple LQS and looked around at what they had.

I bought a few fat quarters, but that's it.

I then came home and made supper.

After supper was done I decided to work on

my January Schnibbles quilt top.

 We are doing the Madeline pattern this month.

 I used two Aster Manor charm packs for my top.

I really like that fabric line.

 I might buy more in order to make this quilt top bigger.

I haven't decided yet. This top is only 28"x28".

So it is quite small. It's really cute that way though too.

So I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.

I'm glad I got this top done early this month.

That way I don't have the pressure to do it at the last minute.

Well, I hope you all have a good night.

Hugs Ariane
