Some More Happy :-)!!!

Laugh and Giggle are now pieced and fused and waiting to be buttonholed...speaking of that, my sweet, sweet Bernina will be coming home tomorrow all fixed and ready to carry on. Yippee..nothing that a little $$$$$$ couldn't solve, but my handy dandy Featherweight filled in quite nicely. Also, I had some comments about the pattern I used....Country Threads one of my favorite pattern places, and I also included a picture of one of their other sign patterns.

Anne Sutton has done it again. Not only is block number 2 for her mystery BOM ready, but she is offering a free quilt pattern here , to go with her new line of fabric, Chelsea Manor. Oh boy is it ever cute and has pieced blocks with embroidered hearts and bunnies. Now how are we going to resist this one??? Hmmmmmmm!!!

I have been a bad blogger this week. I haven't even poked around much....OK, I have been totally goofing off and playing. Think I might need a time out! Happy Friday everyone!

The signage patterns are fantastic! So cute! I would love to make one that says SHHHHHH, for those times when the kids are bickering. LOL! But I guess the positive reinforcement signs would be better.

Your happy banners are awesome Cheryl - I haven't seen those before but they are very uplifting! I think I need to make something like that for my office at work.

Hello Ms Dottie.....how cute are those signs!!!! Thanks for posting. I have been a bad blogger too. Spending more time sewing ( not a bad thing) and less time on the 'puter. I have my Bunnyhill block all ready to embroider. What FUN this is. Hugs and have a great weekend. Rainy and cozy. Sounds PERFECT for sewing!!! XXX Annie

Hi Cheryl,
Infancy is sweet, but the best is yet to come. The big redwood swing in our front yard is a favorite spot for all of us!
Enjoy!!!

I have downloaded Anne's 2nd block, but haven't done a thing with it, but Darlene has!

We're on the same wavelength! I just got my Bernina back from the shop too and I've already printed out Ann's quilt pattern. It is so cute!

Goofing off is just fine. Thanks for the links.

Oh cute! Do those patterns include all the letters in the alphabet? I need some letters like that.
