Please be BRUTALLY honest!!

OK! SO we all know I AM A NEWBIE HERE!! LOL! I swallowed REAL hard and signed up for a Name Game swap! I have to say one of my most difficult parts is my partner does not have a blog, or a flicker! So I had VERY little to go on! Her biggest thing... She is most proud of being a Mum and a Wife! Well I know she means Mother, and I really wish I had known the names of her kids! So, I decided to do my take on a Mum!! I have only done FMQ on practice items so this really scarred me! But all in all I am pretty happy with my results! I hope she understands this and that I did put my all into it! Even if it is crazy! But I am after all Jo Crazy Mama!! LOL

I could not get these to flip (ggrrr) oh well you get the idea. I do still have to press it after finishing up the binding (last night at church! LOL) I decided on the FMQ less was more. I have an editing problem and have a tenancy to add till there is TOOOOO much!!! You know I am pretty proud of it, but y'all don't have to sugar coat it for me! I am a big girl and WELCOME constructive critisism!


OK, now off to work on Honeyman's Swoon! Oh, update on that, I have 2/3's of the top together! One more row to put on! I have had two nights of going to bed and not being able to sleep! After an hour of lying there I have to get up (my side is just killing me these days). On Sunday night I worked on his quilt from 11:00 till 3:30 (AM) I do not like staying up that late, but my body and mind just will not shut down and I hurt trying to stay in bed any longer! Insomnia is hell on my body, but great for my projects!
Have a great day all!!
Josie

  1. I think your mini quilt is great. I am laughing though trying to figure out if you really meant it "scarred" you or if it just "scared" you. I guess they can be the same. lol. I'm with you on the not sleeping and pain. I'm exhausted right now.

  3. Josie it is beautiful! And the little extra touches you put into it will mean so much to the lucky partner who gets this. I would cherish it if it were mine. Good Job!
