Busy weekend with work (traveling monday) and my cousin’s graduation all day sunday. But we did manage to do some more siding on the front, we went as high as we could without putting the caps on the windows/door. (which we have to make still. Then I spent the evening saturday finishing up my nephew’s …
Well plans don’t always work out and this week no quilting happened Tuesday or Wednesday night due to a continued headache. Yesterday however I had no headache! And after work and a few episodes of Castle while eating dinner, I got to work on the crib quilt again and finished up the top! It’s not …
Last night I got started on the crib quilt for my nephew, it matches his wall hanging and I need to get it finished before making the crib bumpers since the bumpers will be made out of the scraps (haven’t designed them yet). So all the strips are cut and so far I’ve gotten 6 …
Before heading home we hung up the new curtains in my sister’s nursery. Now that the curtains are finished I’m focused on the wall hanging, crib quilt, crib skirt and matching bumpers. We’ll see what I can get done in the next 2 weeks before I see Aimee again.
Friday night and Saturday morning we got some great progress done on our individual projects this weekend already. I worked one the curtains for Aimee’s nursery (finished them by 11:30 on Saturday!) and Ryan made great progress on the built-ins for the tvroom. Friday night he made the face frame for the right side cabinet …

Thursday night I also attached the sun. The applique goes so much faster than I remember and now I know …
I got some sewing done tonight – the valances for my sister’s nursery! I made two of them, they go with the curtains I’m still working on (one window done, one to go on those). Then because I won’t be home tomorrow night to sew, I got some of the animals for the quilt ready …
It’s that time of year again! I took a class Thursday afternoon called Autumn Gifts which introduced this string art technique. It was a neat technique and I really like the center motif which I replicated in green on our practice piece. I haven’t started the full piece yet, we just practiced all the stitches. …
Well the cold hit hard but fast and I seem to be doing much better now. I’ve learned from past experience that the cough that persists can be cleared up with my Advaire Rx if I start it once my cold subsides and it’s been helping again. So I’m ready for the weekend (well after …
My Aunt and I have a few quilt kits we bought together over the years and finally we’ve made one of them – it’s Japanese fabrics and I showed the blocks we did a few weeks ago. Wednesday night we finished the blocks and put them all together with sashing. All that’s left is a …
