Hi Donna - sorry some-one was nasty to you ! I love blogging and have "met" some lovely, kind people. It's such a fun way to spend time ! Hope you don't let it get you down ! Your mums quilt is very pretty. I am useless with names though. Mine are all nameless - lol !

You GO GIRL - S !!! You have been busy today.
And who why where when was someone nasty. Do tell, I want the goss.

Annie said...

What about calling it Better Late than Never! It looks terrific and I'm sure your mum will love it. I promise not to tell shhhh..."what the!" I don't even know her what am I talking about. Remember 99% of people are good and decent. It's the 1% that spoil things - we are in the majority!!

Beautiful quilt, I love the fabrics! I'm sorry that you've had bad blogger experience, I hope all the good ones make up for it!

Sounds like you've had a fun day, you lucky girl. Two quilt tops done, now that's work..... Love your chooky board.

Two quilts finished in one day! They both look great. The one for your Mum has great colours in it. I'm sure she will love it. The chook board is very cute.

Wow look what a little help from a friend can do, well done I am sure your Mum will love her quilt, I like Annie's name suggestion.
Happy sewing

i love both your quilts - i think you are very clever.
i think i've missed something though - did someone leave you a nasty comment? I worry about that at times, but the positives far outweigh the negatives and YOU donna have been one great positive. thanks so much for all the advice etc....

The cards you got printed a couple of posts back look great!!! You really could sell them, have you thought of that??
I love both of the quilts, they're great too!!!
The Chook notepad/blackboard is too cute, I'd love to have one in my home....
Now, what's this about blog hate???? I had it too, but that's a long story...

Have fun quilting!

Melanie said...

Great finish, love the fabric...

Carole said...

What's you talkin about "my first taste of nasty blogland?" Not you? Gezzzum! Well, don't let get to you! You're a wonderful person! Love that flimsy! What gorgeous fabric! I just love the colours! Way to go Donna! That's a sweet gift Blueberry gave you! I love chooks! Keep well!

LuĂ­sa Silva said...

You mum will love this quilt beacause it has lovely colors and a great pattern. Now you have to quilt it :)

Unknown said...

Wonderful, wonderful quilt. Great job Donna.

Judith said...

The quilt is really gorgeous.

julieQ said...

Very lovely finish! Your mom is lucky. I love your soft pictures in your latest post, beautiful!

Gypsy Quilter said...

Hmmm, how about Arbor Rose. Arbor because of the cross bars and rose as in the color of the star points.

Claudia said...

I think the quilt for your mum is really wanderful. I love your floreal australian fabrics. Here in Italy I don't find nothing similar and on the web I find only the strip rolls.
Complimenti! When you quilt it it'll be more than wanderful.

Leanne said...

Hey Donna,
I like Annie's name as well. Sorry to hear about a bad blogger like I say to my kids there is always someone who spoils it for everybody else. Take care.

Don't worry about nasty blogland, this is why you have a delete button. Delete the nasties and focus on the lovelies. Don't be discouraged, simply move on.
