Today I want to introduce you to #14 in the Ladies Series (missing from the Sew We Quilt lineup because "she" was traveling). Her name is "Sandy" and you can see the real "her" here on her Flickr stream. Here is my version......as always, first the drawing, then the close up of the eyes and then the finished wall hanging:
If you noticed her heart stud earrings holding the spools, they are supposed to represent all the love that she has for those darling grandchildren that you saw on her Flickr stream. What a bunch of cuties!
Other than that, (and besides the awesome halloween fabric that I'll show you next time), the only thing new are these coasters that I made yesterday for this swap. My partner wanted rainbows:
Check out the backs:
Think they're bright enough? Duh!!! I sure hope she likes them. I asked for Christmas coasters so we'll see what I get.
So that's it for today, my friends. If you're new to my blog, thanks so much for visiting and if you're a tried and true follower.....love, love, love and hugs to you!!! I appreciate each and every one of you! Really I do!

It was sheer genius of someone to match you up with a rainbow loving partner. :) She will love those. I'm looking forward to seeing what Christmas coasters pop up in the PP...you may not be the only one who asked.

Oh, Sandy is wonderful! I can't get over how fantastic the eyes always are! Love those coasters! They might not have been a good idea...she might want the quilt that matches! You just made me want to make a set of coasters.
Another brown haired, green eyed beauty! And oh, those awesome coasters - - - please do tell, are the little black dots embroidered; are they fussy cut from black polka dot fabric (perish the thought); are they beads; are they painted on???? Huh, huh, huh? I'm getting eyestrain from trying to figure it out!
