I finished my last UFO.....Hip Hip Hooray! I machine quilted my mini house quilt, which if you remember is a Carol Doak paper piecing pattern. It is only 12x12 inches. I am so thrilled with it, and I do love paper piecing so very much!Then Joe wanted to write me a card....an inspirational idea of his....He then commissioned me( LOL) to make a card for him, so he could write something inside.I used my favorite color pink for it, and lovely shades of blue. He wrote sweet sentiments in
side, and needless to say it was a win win situation for both of us.
My eyesight is not all it should be, so Joe decided to get me the new Ninento DSi XL. The screen is so much bigger, and he got it in wine red for me. Boy, was that a surprise, and I can now see the screen with no problem.
A really nice day...full of wonderful projects and surprises.

I love your miniature houses. And it's PP! Wish I could learn to do that. Nice present from your husband too!
It still boggles my mind how small those tiny houses are. What a fun quilt they make all together though. You really don't have any UFOs hanging out somewhere in a closet? You are putting the rest of us all to shame.
I'm sure the miniture houses fit in very cozy with your litle cottage. Thank heavens for paper piecing when you are working with designs that small.
Micki,
Your mini house quilt is so sweet! I hope you have a special place in your house to display it.
I think that these little projects mean you are in great health. Good to know.
Love the little minies. Yes the eyes are the first to go. My daughter is now wearing reading glasses...arms weren't long enough.
Love that finished mini-house quilt! I have a DS, too...and enjoy my crosswords game and Family Feud the most so far...oh...and one called "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?"
Wow!!! I love your mini house quilt!!
My eyesight isn't what it used to be either!
I love the miniature houses, Micki. Nice job.
What a sweet idea for Joe to write you a card. He's a keeper.
Do you have Brain Age for the DS? It is a great game.
Wow!!!! I couldn't do anything like that and what a wonderful hubby you have
Micki dearest!
Thank you for coming all the way from Ireland to visit! Have a wonderful evening...Anita

Hi Micki,
Thanks for your visit and kind words on my Fleur de Noel block. It is a pattern I have designed for Quilter's World's Dec 10 issue. :) It is a fun block to make.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Hi Sweetie...
Love this post. Your quilt is just gorgeous, all pieced together. I love looking at the beauty that only you can put together when it comes to color. Be still my little heart. I thank you for sharing.
I love your Nintendo DS, how sweet of Joe to purchase that for you. It should keep you occupied for sure. I would say that Sweet Joe is a keeper sweetie.
Have a beutiful Sunday. Country hugs and so much love, Sherry
LOVE your mini house quilt! Absolutely gorgeous.
The card is very pretty too.
Your house quilt is super!!! Great job getting it finished. What games do you plan on your DS? My DS is an avid gamer. Can't wait to tell him one of my quilting buddies has a DS!
2 lovely projects Micki, I do love that mini house quilt. What a fab prezzy from OH :)

Gorgeous mini houses- all the more amazing if your eyesight isn't what it used to be!
I love your little house quilt, I can´t believe it only measures 12"x12", the single pieces must be tiny.
Well done!
