Firsts

There have been a lot of 'firsts' in our house this week.

Possum loved her first pigtails.

Baby Blue liked his first solids, as long as he held the spoon.

Catching Up

I have finally finished these two blocks that Sheridan has been waiting for.  They were December blocks for Around the Block and I have only just finished them tonight.  Lucky Sheridan has been away on holidays which let me get away with tardy behaviour!

In other block related news, I sent two blocks to Abbe at Copper Patch which have arrived. I am really looking forward to seeing all those blocks come together into a quilt for her friend.

Quilted

I finally finished quilting the round robin block swap quilt.  I had never Free Motion Quilted before so I was a little nervous.  With tongue firmly set in the corner of my mouth I started and I am really happy with the end result!

I made the back using all the pieces of fabric sent back with each block.  I don't like it too much and think I should have cut each piece down smaller and joined them.  I didn't at the time because I was worried about how much fabric I would lose in each new join.

I used the same red dot in the binding which looks great from the front of the quilt.  I love the front!  I have already spent a bit of time under this quilt and plan on plenty more snuggly evenings too.

My last post on this quilt mentions who made what block with links if you are interested ;)

Dream

Pipe Dream? 

Maybe for now, but if you have a dream, you have a goal to work towards...

I stood here today and pictured my house site.

Painting

Happy Sunday. 

I spent the day painting.  I am a messy painter, but it's more fun that way.

I love wearing overalls too.

I don't love the clean up.

Hope you had fun whatever you did today.
