The Japanese Tea Garden was a nice spot to run around. Although the kids were wondering were the tea was.
I got this wonderful quilt from the Miniature Booty swap from Colene. My two favorite colors. I love it Colene, Thank You so much. I took the picture then ran inside to hang it above my cutting table. It looks perfect.
It also reminds me to get mine finished and sent out. I am sure bad at the sending part. I have three packages ready and waiting to go to the Post office. This week, by Friday.
I finished a bag for my Grandma. She wanted something patchwork in black and white. So this is what I came up with. I think it turned out nice.
I hope to get a few things finished now that my company has gone home. I am on a strawberry hunt for the Strawberry Swap, I am reading Brothers Grimm tales for inspiration for the Fairy Tale Swap, I have a small quilt to work on for the Booty Swap, 2 quilts for the 6" Quilt swap and I need to finish the quilt for the Doll Quilt 4 swap. I may need to take a swapcation.

I love the bag you made for your grandma! It sounds like you had a busy week but a fun week with your family!
I think we're in all of the same swaps. Like you I'm desperately trying to finish up my 6 swaps before I head back to school in 2 weeks. I maybe taking a forced swapcation once I get back to work!
Wow! I was just going to ask where you took that picture and then read it was at the Japanese Gardens. It had been closed for a long time for renovation and just reopened this Spring. I heard it was beautiful but haven't had time to go...now I will!
If you like to take photos of places and flowers and waterfalls like that, there is a place out 281 North of 1604 where there is a new Super Target and a shopping center...ok, duh...281 North at Stone Oak Pkwy. There is also the GREATEST STARBUCKS there! But, right next to the Starbucks they've built a really beautiful area with a couple of waterfalls, stones and lots of flowers...actually, I found this one flower last night that I have NEVER seen before and I need to go back and take a picture of it. Are you in that part of town at all or anywhere remotely close?
OK-instead of leaving an email long comment, I'll go send you a novel length email! How's that? lol!
OH! And I LOVE your little flower pot quilt-my favorite colors, too. I would love to do a doll quilt swap with you sometime-if you ever have time...I like to collect them and have them hanging on my wall.yhw
That bag for Grandma turned out really great.
Jill is in 6 swaps? Crazy lady...I have 5 though, so I am not far behind. Does that mean I am also crazy? Probably.
Sounds like you had a great time with Mum. I keep telling myself I need to see more of the area I live in, most of it I haven't even driven through, let alone visited. (and I hate driving about at night too)
