Label for Willowberry's 2009 BLOM

Ok, my Mom informed me today that Cheryl at Willowberry has posted the quilt label for her cute Verandah Views embroidered quilt. This is the project that is posted as a pdf for you to download and trace for hand embroidery. Of course I always look at something and see how to do it through machine embroidery. I realize that you can always use a hand project so we'll call this project a cross over!! Anyway, the blocks are not large at all and some of the embroidery had to be done with a single strand of embroidery thread. Of course my Mom has done each one by hand. I think she even used the embroidery hoop she's had for years - they just get better with age you know. My Mom has all the blocks done and and the top is completely sewn together. She purchased batting today (probably will have enough for another whole project because the size is about 27" square).
I'll get a picture posted of the top as soon I can. I didn't have my camera with me today.

Deb Yadon had left her Halloween quilt at the shop today so we were all able to admire it. I have a picture being sent to me and will get it posted as soon as it arrives.


Oh, I almost forgot. Not sure what was special about today but from what I saw this morning at 8am while having coffee at Starbucks at the Market Place it was Old Guy In A Ferrari (old fart in a Ferrari) morning. There must have been 20 of them come in and drive by Starbucks on their way to park in the parking log by Applebees. It was a site to watch these Italian driving machines hike over a darn little speed bump! They are a beautiful machine though just really looowww to the ground. I know this has nothing to do with embroidery but it was sight,let me tell you!! That was a lot money in that group of cars for sure.
Nice.

Two thoughts:

1. Mom's get better with age too. (Especially yours. She's a doll!)

2. OFWF do have lots of money and probably would pay big bucks for anything with Ferrari's embroidered on it. Just a thought.

Have a great weekend!
