The fun stuff---
The quilt below is the quilt my quilty friend pieced for me. She was in town this last week and we had dinner together on Thursday evening and she brought this beauty to me. It is a Carol Hopkins pattern, "Baskets for Betsy" and I love how it turned out!
Below is the quilt I am quilting for her in exchange for her piecing my quilt. We have had this arrangement for quite a while now and it suits us both. We even have the same first name, how weird is that?? I am so glad we connected all those years ago and I look forward to many more to come in the future! Her quilt is made up of all different bears and they are all adorable. Her piecing is exquisite so it is a true joy to quilt them. 
I had a wonderful surprise from the mailman at noon. One of my PIF gals sent me a darling table topper that matches my colors in my studio perfectly. Isn't it wonderful? Thank you so much again Angela, it was so sweet of you!
You couldn't have picked anything more perfect!
Have a wonderful quilty weekend!

I am so glad you like your tabletopper, Carol! It was just a little way to say thanks for the beautiful quilting you did on my PIF gift. It looks like it goes on that table perfectly! :o)
I like how you and your quilting friend trade piecing for quilting! What a great idea!
I agree...find a piecing friend to exchange! It's a fantastic arrangement.
I have some really good friends but piecing them a quilt top like that - I doubt it! What a fabulous arrangement for you both. blessings, marlene
I'm totally in love with your "Baskets for Betsy" quilt. I'm noticing baskets so much lately -- on blogs, in magazines, in my books. This one is definitely a favorite.
The basket quilt is beautiful.
The basket quilt is lovely. Your table topper was perfect for your table. You are a busy woman. I love to visit your blog.
I have a small baskets for Betsy sitting here waiting to be quilted. In fact it has been sitting here for about 8 years! I just can't figure out how to quilt it!
