I'm back! Have you missed me? Oh, I sure hope so. I'm back in blogging form and should be visiting with you again in the next day or two.
Need to thank Miss Snippet for filling in for me while I was sickly. She came through for me! You gotta admit though she is quite the little cutie! LOL
I took the time this week to quilt this flimsy from 'the past'. The flimsy is not quite a year old (finished it in May '08) so I feel really good that's it quilted and ready to hang right after Easter. The pattern is called "Keyholes" and can be found in the book "On A Roll Again" by Anka's Treasures.
My local quilt shop asked if I'd make a sample for her store using a "Swanky" Layer Cake by Moda and I happily obliged. This is a super quick project - got the 'guts' done on Thursday afternoon and evening and the borders added on Friday evening. You've seen this around blogland - it's called "Spice Cake" by Mary's Cottage Quilts and perfect for Layer Cakes (10" squares). Cooper checked it out and told me that he likes it, too. :-)
Come back tomorrow and I'll share pictures of a truly touching surprise I received from a friend in Canada. Believe me, when I tell you I shed crocodile tears of joy. This sweet and lovely surprise came to me 'in friendship'. :-)Thanks so much for visiting with me - come again real soon.
In Friendship!

Your quilts are wonderful...and both of them are on my list to make!!!
I love your Keyhole quilt...I've looked at that pattern dozens if times an djust couldn't figure out what fabric to use...I love what you picked...it's so happy! And your Swanky Spice Cake is GREAT! Look at that cute little Cooper there giving his seal of approval.
Both of them look like good fun to make and the colours are very spring like. Glad to hear you are better.
Keyhole is wonderful! I may have to rethink that book...wait, a friend of mine might have it! I'm trying really hard to be good about not making additional purchases. (you can laugh) Swanky Spice Cake - YUMMO!
I especially like Keyholes! Very cool!
Both quilts are wonderful and I love both patterns. I just might have to go and buy that book.
Both quilts are gorgeous! The Spice cake is a pretty design.
Both quilts are wonderful. I can see now why you thought the spice quilt is good for larger prints. They are both cheerful quilts.
Both quilts are lovely. They look ready for spring!
Dont' ask me to choose - I'd have both thanks (lol)!

Oh I'm so behind on so many things. So sorry to hear you weren't well, but am so happy that you're back in the land of the living. Love your bunny quilt, so adorable.
I do love that "Swanky".. and this is the perfect pattern for layer Cakes. Love it! Poor you.. have to make that quilt. :-)
Glad you're feeling better! Mr Snippets was fine.
Both of these look cute. I hope you get to keep your shop sample after it's displayed.
Both of the quilts are wonderful, but I especially love the keyholes one...the bright and happy colours are just what a person needs to see this time of year!
I love both of those patterns. Very pretty. Your Cooper and my Shelby could be mirrors of each other.
Glad you back and feeling better
OOOH I love that spice cake!! I use that snowball pattern for my I Spy quilts, but I've never seen it like this. LOVE it!
Yes, I missed you and glad you are back. Wow, great quilts. Love the fabrics in Spice Cake.
Both quilts turned out so very nice! The fabric for both quilt patterns was perfect! I'll take both of them, thank you!
