I went into Andrew’s room to put up some wandering toys. This is what I found.
I asked him why he took all of the toys out of the toy box? He said, “Cause I wanna get in there.” I chuckled and asked if he got in there. He said, “Uh Huh.” I asked him if he was going to put the toys back in the toy box. He stared at me like I was crazy.
Andrew and Brailun got up on the bed together. I started singing the monkeys jumping on the bed song. They thought it was funny. Couldn’t resist another photo.
Today is Andrew’s 3rd birthday. Where have the last 3 years gone? We have been working hard cleaning up the house today for a birthday party tonight. We invited a few kids and parents over for dinner and cake.
These are some quilt blocks I made for a swap using this pattern from the Moda Bake Shop.
“Timmy” Tyler had his last soccer game for his sophomore year last week. They played against a team that went to state last year and beat them 2-0. GO FALCONS!!!
Last year I made this quilt from a kit sent to me by quilts for kids.
I was checking their site and they have posted that they are in need of quilts for boys. So if you feel like sewing for a good cause this would be a great way to do so. They delivered over 20,000 quilts last year.
I made this for another “Quilting Buddie”. It is the first big project I have ever hand embroidered. I really enjoyed it. The wall hanging is about 23 inches square.
I made this table runner for a “Quilting Buddie”. I hope she likes it. It is an original design. Something I kind of just came up with. I used a green variegated thread for the leaf design in the border. I used a brown to quilt in the diagonal lines.
Tim, Brandy and I went to Belle Mont Mansion this past fall for a tour. (I have been meaning to share these pictures for quite some time.) They had a ton of old quilts through out the house. This was the first one I took a picture of hanging in the formal dining room.
I have been too busy to make much of anything lately. It has been well over a month since my last post. I did make this selvage fabric postcard yesterday. The great thing about fabric postcards is that you can get one done fairly quickly. I keep my fusible interfacing and muslin backing in a bin precut. That way if inspiration strikes I can get right to it and not have to cut everything up. This particular one took me all of 15 minutes to complete. I already had the variegated green thread on the quilting machine for a table runner that I am almost done quilting. I ran with it and practiced some loops.
It is very cold today. Tyler had a soccer game @ 12pm. It was 33 degrees. Yikes. Andrew and I didn’t make it long out in the elements. His poor little face looked like it was getting chapped. We went to the van and I let him sit in the drivers seat. He loves to sit and “drive”. He was having way too much fun. He had the windshield wipers going and the window going up and down. It is amazing how the simplest things amaze him. I wish more people could keep that kind of joy as they get older.
I made this Christmas ornament for my hubby as a gift. He loves Kentucky basketball. I try to get him an ornament each year that has some meaning behind it. I’m so glad that he liked it.
Tops- Need to be sandwiched and quilted
Blocks Done- Need to be sewn into tops
WIP- Need more blocks to complete
The sad part is that there are more UFO’s to add to the list. LOL. I finished 11 projects that were on the list. Down to 33.
