This is the best I could do getting a picture of mom...but you get the idea! I told her she looks like Wilson on "Home Improvement".We had 6 evenings of gorgeous sunsets...here's one of the best...
While at the beach I got bindings on 2 quilts...stitching in the evening and I was done in no time...this red, cream and blue quilt is my new favorite quilt of all time...it's made with Prairie Paisley by Minnick and Simpson...
Sorry for the bend in the top...my quilt holder can't go up the stairs any more...he has his appointment at the hospital for his knee replacement on September 1st...the quilt is so wide my arms just don't have a big enough span...and it's so long that unless I went up the stairs halfway we couldn't get the whole quilt in the picture. This quilt was inspired by Darlene of Quilting Daze...She posted a picture of her quilt and I just loved it...thank you Darlene for all your help with this one...I love it and it's staying at our house...we're keeping it!This one is the Monthly Mini from Temecula Quilt Company
...it was so much fun to do...and I am crazy about the fabric choices that they made. Gosh I love that shop! Wish I lived closer!And while I was at the beach I got an e-mail from Sherri at A Quilting Life letting me know that I won part of her big giveaway...OMG, am I ever a lucky girl...I won this wonderful bag.
And as if this bag isn't wonderful enough, it has one of Sherri's very specially made covered buttons...
Did I mention how very lucky I feel! Thank you Sherri!I'll be back tomorrow...I hope to have my Simply Sophisticated block and my Designer BOM block done and I want to share the books that I read...until tomorrow...

I can see why you like the Prairie Paisley block. I found some of the fabric online for $5.00 a yard but did not succumb to it even thought it nagged at me a whole bunch. I bought too much other fabric to indulge any more.
Glad you had a good week at the beach. We had plenty of rain here.
Congrats on your win! Your little quilt is wonderful!
I love your Prairie Paisley quilt! I think this is one of my favorite fabric lines; the colors are just perfect. Congrats on the bag win and on the great weather for your time at the beach!
So many beautiful pictures!
mmm, beach! Glad you had nice weather. Love the Prairie Paisley quilt too, its gorgeous!
Will you buy my next lottery ticket? LOL
Really liking that quilt that Darlene helped you with....fun to see that you do keep a few for yourself. It is wonderful and truly a keeper.
Glad you had good weather at the beach. The beach isn't so much fun when it's raining all the time.
Love your Darlene-inspired quilt. Pretty fabrics! And congratulations on winning Sherri's bag -- it's adorable.
Mom reminds of Wilson from Home Improvement ~ that was funny, Carol.
Totally love your quilt. That pattern is just too fun. I really dig that! Happy for you to make that yours. ...and how wonderful to read about your time reading at the beach my friend. Perfect weather and all. :) *karendianne.

Wilson (oops, I mean your Mom - teehee) looks comfy! :-) I'm really glad you two enjoyed your time at the beach. Blissful.
Your Prairie Paisley quilt is wonderful, wonderful - I'm glad you're keeping the quilt. Maybe we should write up the pattern now that you've tested it. :-)

OMG I LOVE that prairie paisley quilt!!! I wish I could re-do mine...not too crazy about what I did with it...oh well. I don't remember seeing it on Darlene's blog I need to check it out. My computer went down for a while...since sometime when you were at the beach and now I have those issues fixed and my e-mail is doing something weird grrrr!!! I also love that TQC cutie...I have a book of little quilts from them that I am now inspired to go get busy on!!!!
Special moments with mom and good weather too.....can't beat that! And, look at you.....sewing up a storm. Hope you are all relaxed, suntanned and caught up with your reading. Sounds like a great week to me!
I love your Prairie Paisley quilt ..the red, white and blue fabrics are wonderful. Lucky you, winning Sherri's gorgeous bag.
