My good friend and I had a quilting party last Saturday. We both worked on Debbie Caffrey's mystery that came out in the latest issue of Quiltmaker's magazine (May/June issue). The next steps will be in the next two issues. We love doing Debbie's mysteries. We both used to live in Alaska and did several of Debbie's mysteries in class there. These are the fabrics I chose to use in mine.
The Easter Basket wallhanging I have had done for several years but still haven't quilted it. I don't do FM quilting too well so am trying to wait until I feel more comfortable with stippling. I would like to stipple in the white background then maybe cross-hatching on the baskets and just kind fo out-line the eggs in the baskets and the borders. What do you think of that....would it look ok or is there a better way? I am open for suggestions.

Having trouble getting the right picture in. I will try again. Bear with me!

Okay....think I got my pics in now!! Hope so anyway.

Oh those baskets are gorgeous.those eggs look real :thumbup:

BTW, all the fabrics for the mystery came from my stash!

WOW! They are so pretty! Stippling in the baskets would look nice or you could do a cross-hatching. The eggs look great the way they are!

The baskets are too cute. And the eggs look great

Your baskets are beautiful, so far haven'nt seen any calories. Good job

nice fabric (even better from your stash) and the baskets and eggs are really cute.

Sooo cute.

Love your wall hanging!! Great job on those baskets & eggs!!

That is soooo nice

Oh, wow, I posted a topic a few days ago asking if anyone was making the mystery quilt, I'm so happy to see that you are, love your fabric choices. I made a table runner a while back using the same easter egg fabric too! It's on my dining table right now. Yours is so pretty with the basket blocks, mine has bright churn dash blocks.

Love those baskets. Be sure to send pics of completed mystery quilt.

The fabric for your mystery quilt look great. Love the Easter Baskets, they are just gorgeous. The quilting would look really nice too. Great job. :thumbup: :thumbup: :)

I like the looks of the first blocks in this mystery. Waiting to see some more, before I decide if I want to do the quilt or not, lol. Nice fabrics, good choices, & love your Easter Baskets too!

Nancy, I have done alot of Debbie Caffey's mysteries and haven't come across one yet that didn't turn out good. I could almost gaurantee this will be a neat quilt. It is so much more fun to do and find out the surprise. It doesn't use alot of fabric. If your stash is like mine you can probably get all the fabrics out of your stash. I am almost certain the last fabric listed is for binding.

Very cute!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

that is beautiful is there a pattern available for this

I love the baskets. What a beautiful wall hanging.

What a cute idea, it is so pretty!

Do you have a pattern for the baskets? I have been looking for one for months and these look just right.

I love your Easter Baskets......

Ooo, I love the colors! Great job~

What a great job on the baskets !

love your work so pretty
