Saturday...

and some success at last! Sharing my Big B for Brenda's 50th birthday. Mailed off to Winnipeg last week. It was fun to make! Happy Birthday Brenda *VBS*
 My 3rd Q4L and the promise to Clare is now fulfilled. This one(#33) went off to Caden B. in Ohio. I hope he likes it. Haven't heard anything back as yet.
 Last Saturday DD# 1 was here to pick up her donation quilt for the Wrapped In Hope project. She purchased fabric and backing, and with my help made a quilt for a little gal in MI, whose birthday is on Monday. I suggested we use the leftovers and make whatever size we could as donation top. She did the cutting and I did the sewing as she cut and arranged. We got this one to flimsey stage by the time her DH got back from the track meet. This top.....

along with these 6 of mine, are headed to Margaret's Hope Chest for their April Quilt Top Donation Drive. Six less UFO's for me and for such a good cause!!
There seem to be some new features in the Picasa photo program that are giving me gray hairs, but I'm working on it. Hope to have the new method and reasoning figured out soon! At least I can post pictures again...hurray for that!!

It must feel good to get so many UFOs out into the world. The lime green and red quilt really caught my eye: what a beauty.

Wow, Finnie, you've been having lots of fun---and with one of your daughters, to boot! You rock, girl! :D I love these---and how could anyone who receives one not feel 'wrapped in love'. :)

It appears that you have really been busy. Wasn't it fun to sew with your daughter? Cute quilts.

nice way to get some tops out of your hair knowing that they will reach someone very soon who can use it and love it.

Wow, what a pile of donations! Good on you! And kudos to DD for wanting to make a quilt too. :- ) Looks like the two of you did a great job!

I haven't been having trouble with pictures (knock on wood) but I have been having issues with the formatting of my posts. Nothing major, just annoying and time consuming. This IS supposed to be fun, right?!

Stopping back by to wish you a Happy Easter. I hope you get to spend it with at least some of the people you love most.

You are always so busy!! What a terrific bunch of work. I clicked on your photo of 6 quilts, and really like the way you used the D9P to showcase novelty fabrics, and the strings with stars and yellow plain blocks is another favorite.
