Weekend

I finished the quilt top for Emma. 
It actually went pretty quickly since its just a patchwork of large squares.
The worst part was getting them arranged....who knew a random look was so hard to do??
I know I bought some of this for the back. --->
But I can't find it.
I hate when that happens. 
Has to be upstairs somewhere.


Scott had his class reunion Saturday.
Man! Some of the people in his class look OLD!  LOL
All those girls that tanned in high school are some wrinkled 48 year olds. 
We overslept on Sunday, missed church
Scott had a headache anyway. Wonder why???  LOL


Sunday evening I made my first batch of homemade laundry soap.
I had to wash a couple loads right away.
I was impressed, dirty barn clothes came out nice and clean.
Even smelled fresh!  
Believe me, farmer and 100 degree temps make for some very stinky clothes!

Weekend project

I made this little stroller blanket over the weekend.

The pirate fabric is from Michael Miller, blues are Amelia / Me and My Sister
boarder is Anthology
backing is Jungle Baby Stripes by Kate Hornarvar.

I cheated on the binding, just left the backing a little big and folding it over the front and machine stitched :)
