This is the first quilt I finished. The pattern in yellow brick road and I made it for my niece Abby (Heidi's daughter). Chad helped me tie the quilt with embroidery thread. I think it turned out really cute. I hope she enjoys it for a long time.
I also made this rag quilt for Abby. Heidi bought the fabric and I put it all together.
This is the first quilt I pieced together but not the first quilt I ever finished. I pieced it together a few years ago and had it quilted. I just finally did the binding on the quilt to have it compltetly down. Why took so long? Binding actually scares me. I think mostly because half of the binding process is hand sewing and I am not a strong hand sewer. So here is the final product.
I have the quilt now on display in my living room on my new quilt rack that I got at a yard sale for $2. Yes $2 what a steal.
This was Rebecca's and Benjamins first swimming time for this summer (this actually happened a few weeks ago but as always I am behind.) Rebecca and Benjamin had so much fun. Yes, Benjamin is very white.
Today was Rebecca's last day of Preschool. I am amazed at how much she has learned since starting last September. The other day I was unloading her back pack and I found a worksheet she had done at school and she had written her name at the top. Now one of the c's was an e but I knew what she meant. I had to take some pictures on her last day and compare it to her first day. Next September will come around quick and she will start another year of preschool but we will have fun playing and reviewing during the summer.
