Roxy has finished the Whimsy of Life and it is off to the post office!

CELEBRATING the whimsy of life and the PASSION AND PEOPLE that bring a bounce to my step, breeze in my hair and the little push that swings me that much higher...I can almost touch the sky!
Which little fairy are you?

It's a close tie of what was more fun for me with this project, the piecing or the quilting with Roxy.  She skated along the surface like a smooth ice rink and now it is bound and ready to mail....

As I finished the binding while celebrating Crystal Bowersox's music video success I thought.....

"O O O O O" (there are those darn little O's again that we love so much..Thank you, "O"prah for your inspiration of your O on your mag).... Ohhhh this could be a piece CELEBRATING the mini contest of People, Patterns and Passions announced in the most recent Quilters Newletter......Nope, not mini enough.....So.......

a surprise for a  lady who has the job of gifting hope and joy to women all over the world with one word at a time....

And have you visited Victoria at BumbleBeacns, Inc.?  She asked us quilters if it is the process or the end result that inspires us to quilt....

I am definitely the process and prefer that sometimes there not be a result beyond the emotion of me being in the moment......

What is your preference?


Roxy loved adding rays of sunshine to this little area.....and pleating the fairy skirt was so flattering....

How demure this sweet princess is....  I have always preferred to be the fairy who gifts then receives....Something so fun about sending a surprise....


Roxy had so much fun quilting these balloons! and as I quilted the lines I wondered if my fairy was underwater for a moment swimming...


And this is the quintessential moment of womanhood, when we remember what it is like to still be a girl!

Love, Em

I think I'd be the fairy hanging upside down - did you read my post about being a Breech Baby? Anyway, so glad I found you again - I've MISSED YOU!!!
