My long weekend has come to an end. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

I had last Friday and today off from work which gave me a 4-day weekend. It has been wonderful–like a mini vacation!<\/p>\n

Sunday was Mother’s Day and I had a fabulous day. Both my son and daughter helped out by doing some of the household chores. I spent the afternoon quilting. My son, daughter, and husband looked after cooking supper. We had my parents over for supper and we had a nice evening visiting with them.<\/p>\n

As you can see by the cards below, both my kids have a sense of humor.<\/p>\n

From my daughter:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/a> I love the mug that my daughter gave me.<\/p>\n

\"\"From my son and his girlfriend:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/a> I love ladybugs and this sign and ladybug ornament from my son and his girlfriend are perfect!<\/p>\n

\"\"
My husband got me an I-Pod so that I can listen to quilting pod casts. This is something I have wanted for a very long time. I guess he was listening to me!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I believe I was spoiled!<\/p>\n

I had quite a few finishes this weekend as far as quilting goes.<\/p>\n

I finished the binding on my Parrot Building Blocks quilt. This was a pattern that Pam<\/a> found on-line that was designed by Debbie Mumm<\/span>. If you would like to make your own quilt, the pattern can be found here: http:\/\/www.debbiemumm.com\/Projects\/Quilting\/2007\/03\/<\/a><\/p>\n

My version is larger than Debbie’s and finishes at 52″ x 75″.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a> I had purchased some frog fabric and coordinates some time ago. I decided that Warm Wishes was the perfect pattern to use up the fabric. Warm Wishes was a pattern featured in Quiltmaker<\/span> Magazine in the November \/ December 2003 (No. 94) issue. The pattern can also be found on line at: www.quiltmaker.com\/patterns\/patt4a.htm<\/a>. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> This is a closeup of the frogs.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> Because the first Building Blocks quilt went together so quickly, I had time to make another one with some lady bug fabric on the border.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> This is a closeup of the ladybugs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Back to work and reality tomorrow!<\/p>\n
