What A Weekend

So just look at this nice plate. My favorite Darling Daughter treated my Mom and me on Saturday to Olive Garden. Wasn't that nice!! DD had some kind of chicken and I had some kind of ravioli, it was all good!

 We also went to a few yard sales and look at this awesome chair I got for only $5! I LOVE it!

 Then on Sunday, my favorite Uber Son and girlfriend-in-law brought me over these beautiful flowers! I'm so lucky to have such great kids!

 What to you think of Uber Son's new do?

 So today I finished the purple quilt for DD's friend who is having a baby girl.

 Look at that cute owl fabric we found for the backing. Owls must be the trendy thing this spring. We saw a ton of them all over the stores.

 I quick meander and some cute polka dot binding, and then....

 washed to crinkly goodness!!

 It came out a lot better than I expected, I wasn't really sold on the solid lavender fabric, but it ended up fantastic I think!

On to Purple

SO, DD has another co worker who is having a baby girl and is a FAN of purple.  SO I started sorting out all of my purples and I think I'll try this Irish Chain pattern. I laid out a few of the blocks to see how it looks.

I'm not totally sold on the light purple, I guess that's lavender, solid, but it is what I have on hand! The colors in this picture seem a little bit off to me, that block that looks yellow is black with purple doodles in it. Hmmm, might have to ditch that!  I dunno, maybe this will turn into a hidden 9 patch!!
