this absolutely " perfect for sara " mug

another super sweet pillow case...99 cents...

some days are easier than others,,,,

hard to believe that nancy's beautiful queensize quiltsmart wedding ring could give me soooo much TROUBLE but

it did...
first with a broken needle cuz where these blocks meet they are very bulky and then with bad tension....that i didn't notice for almost a whole row of dense quilting...ahhhhhhh ~ that means a whole lot of frogging [pick it pick it]
anyway happy to say i am back on track and should finish this beauty later today....fingers crossed xoxoxox  happy wednesday  ~ pam
and sooo happy my other girl is home tonight from a 4 month stay in mexico,,,..yeahhhhhh xoxox
