I’m Done!

Oh happy day!  All my obligations for this year are complete and now I can start thinking about projects for me.  My swap gifts are made and have been sent out except for one which according to the rules cannot be sent out til November. Woo hoo!  I have so many things on my ‘to do’ list I just don’t know where to start…but I’m sure I’ll find something to occupy both my hands and mind.

Four more great gals sent me photos of their completed First Friday Freebie, ‘Fall is in the Air!’

GetAttachmentThe first one is from Bea who made hers into a pillow.  What a beautiful photo!  Bea is from France and she was my swap partner in the ‘Good ‘Ol Summertime’ mini quilt swap.

100_0835 This next one is from Karen in Florida.  Cool, huh?

Carol Lewis Fall is in the Air

This one is from Carol Lewis.  Love that homespun border, Carol!

And this last one is from Kathy in British Columbia.  Unfortunately Kathy didn’t send me a link to her blog so I can’t pass it on to you.

Thank you all so much for sharing.

I'm excited just following along. Everyone is having such fun with your freebie. I've seen Carrie's darling pillow with rick rack. It must be fun and rewarding for you to see what other's are making.

Oh! How exciting that you get to do your own things now! I was so glad when my nieces and nephews got done marrying and having babies--they kept me busy making wedding and baby quilts for a couple of years.

Nanette Merrill said...

Oh I am jealous to see you so caught up and on top of things! Fun.

Karen said...

It is fun seeing the different completed stitcheries that people have done. The choice of border fabric makes each one different and interesting. The one photographed with the fall flowers was a good idea.
I am looking forward to your next freebie.
And how fun to get to work on just what you want to work on the rest of the year.

The stitcheries look great, you must be very proud to see your design, made by others.

Oh, to be done like you, my friend! I'm only just beginning...

All those finishes are awesome! Our printer isn't feeling too good these days or I might have made one as well... it's a great pattern!

Oh, those are great. I see some others made pillows too.

Allie said...

Wah - I so wish I could say I was done with all my obligations! Maybe next month? But then I'll probably commit to something else. Sigh.

Love all the stitcheries everyone did - and looking forward to Friday!

Annette said...

What a great feeling to be caught up. I'm still working to get there. I love seeing how everyone is doing your stitchery design. They are all beautiful.
