Oh, I have been working, working and working, but I did get a big batch of projects shipped to the editor last week. Lollipop Spring is one of them. I used my trusted little home machine to try to imitate a long-arm look for this whimsical project:
I will be using this eventually to play tea with Baby:
I added a few three-dimensional ladybug buttons to add a little oomph to the whimsical-ness:
Gigantic vs diminutive:
I love love love the backing fabric! These fabrics are from Moda’s Tweet Tweet collection. Now, with a name like “Tweet Tweet”, the fabrics can’t be anything but sweet and cute!
A parting shot of the border:
Thanks for stopping by. I can’t believe it’s Friday already. Nevertheless, I wish you a tweet-ily sweet weekend!

My goodness, Wendy! That is gorgeous quilting! I think the longarmers (including me) should be imitating YOU…that ROCKS!
I love these happy cheerful fabrics. What fun to have tea with Ladybugs and Tweet, Tweet
Cute, cute! Do tell when and where we will see this pattern. I love the tweet tweet fabric.
Did you do those “flowery patterns” with free motion too? This is just so cute!
This is adorable. Love the backing fabric especially, and the ladybug!
Those fabrics are so great, and the backing is adorable. LOVE it! Oh, and your quilting makes me jealous, it is absolutely beautiful!
This really is a fabulous whimsical quilt! Love it!
This so cute! I love the flowery border quilting.
Wendy I LOVE this. I love the fabric, the design and oh my the quilting!!! The ladybugs are such a delightful touch. And oh that backing fabric – I may need to get some of that!
I guess I missed the first part of this tweet post. I just love this fabric. So colorful. It is just darling. The fabric does remind me of a ladybug. The flower quilting just makes it take off.
That is very gorgeous! I LOVE the ladybug you put next to it too! It’s definitely very whimsical. Another wonderful quilt.
What a beautiful, cheerful quilt. Love the lady bugs and the quilting, as always, is wonderful!
Bright, cute, and adorable, Wendy! You did a GREAT job on this. The colors and design just pop!
Dropping by to thank you for your well wishes for Mr. Magpie’s birthday. He appreciated it SO much. You helped to make his day complete.
I will be MIA from my blog for a couple of days getting things done here, so I want to be sure and wish you a Happy Memorial Day Weekend now. See you soon.
XO,
Sheila

Beauuuutiful quilting Wendy – and so appropriate. I love it
this is so beautiful… very girly and cute…. love all the details on top…
Your quilting is beautiful and I love the big and small ladybug picture!
I just bought some Tweet Tweet to make a coin quilt and I’m glad you posted your quilt in Sew & Tell so I could see it in a quilt. This has gotten me so excited to make mine! I better hurry up and finish the ones that I’ve already started.
Adorable! and terrific quilting! You inspire me…I’m a home machine quilter and WOW! that really looks fantastic!
I love the quilt, but daughter is loving the ladybugs now!
I love your quilt…so cheery and pretty!

That is fabulous! The quilting was done on your home sewing machine? Amazing. Love the blanket stitch on the appliques too, and that Tweet fabric!
Such a cheerful quilt! Love the appliques, ladybug, backing fabric – would love to see the whole thing!! Beautiful!!
Beautiful — the ladybugs are a wonderful photographic touch!! As usual, your quilting is beautiful. I can’t wait to see the whole thing.
Too sweet!! I’m in total agreement about the tweet tweet fabrics, and well the Ladybugs were ingenious
just exquisite! and i do love your stitching ♥
This is a perfect example of that adage, “the quilting makes the quilt.” I love it!
I love the backing material – I could see some curtains in my laundry room from that, what is the name of it?
This is so, so adorable! That fabric is whimsical, indeed, and so fun! It looks great.
Beautiful Wendy!! Your quilting is fantastic!
What a beutiful quilting. I love the fabrics, gorgeous.
Beautiful quilt! I love the happy colors
