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! 

work in progress

A little rearranging
A little more stitching
A lot more pressing
And figure out something for the backing
Hoping this  baby will be finished in time for Emma's August birthday
I love the red and black
and the big squares

Christmas in April?

I bought this Riley Blake flannel last year. Its going to be a cozy quilt for us. I think I will do some big squares.

Red and Black

A sneak peek of my next project.

I can buy already filled bobbins at walmart.

Not a bargain, but will work til I figure something out.

I spy quilt

I took some pictures of the I spy quilt before I gave it. I love the purple floral I used for the back.

tired girl

Miss G hugged her blanket when I gave it to her.

:)

She was so tired though, she went right home and had a nap

:)

I must admit, after collecting fabrics and working on it for so long... I had a hard time giving it up. Her mom sent me this picture, made me feel better.

Miss Em, reminded me that her birthday is in August ;)
