I went to a 40th birthday party (how did my children get so old?). At the party was a baby that I had forgotten to send a quilt to
Anyways, while I was making the Valentina quilt I also finished up a boy quilt that was sitting there. I now know what to do with it!! So excited to send it to this cute little man, Theodore.
to se
Got the gender correct this time! I did enjoy making the girl quilt so I made another in blueish colours.
I am sure there is an easier way to put this quilt together but I laid out quilt and then sewed it all together. Quilting was stitch in the ditch. I had made this quilt larger than the girl quilt so did not put an extra border around it. Love the bear backing!!!!
Health update: I am getting stronger. 3 months of not using your arms post surgery takes a lot of strength out. I walked 11,000 to 12,000 steps daily on our camping trip with rest days every 3rd day. Felt really good!
Seems like I am only posting once a year. It is so weird as blogging used to be my life line. I guess I now have a life.
February 25, 2025 I had a heart attack and a stent placed. March 4 I had triple bypass surgery. I am very glad to have a life!
I was a little confused after the surgery so made a girl quilt for a baby boy. Oops. All was not lost as I did need a girl quilt too. Valentina, now 2 months old.
Hello and happy July! I have spent 2 weeks camping, a little in the rain but mostly sunny. So fun!!
I finished up this baby quilt for my co-worker Matt and his baby Jake. Jake is so cute!! I Love Babies!
I had a visitor to my greenhouse. I have not seen him before or since. I must say it makes me a bit skittish to go pick my tomatoes. I think it may be a Wandering Salamander but I could be incorrect. Do you see him? Blends right in until he moves.
The blackberries are almost ready! I'm so excited! And there are tons!!
They are still on the tart side, soon they will be ready.
Spring is here! And so is the long grass that is too wet to cut.
The yard looks a little derelict, however, it is 10 degrees today! And sunny! The tulips are coming up and the kale overwintered.
This is almost a quilt top. I must say this fabric is so fun!
Happy February!
It is done! Baby Rails for my coworker and his new little one, Ben. Quilted with wavy lines in a hatching pattern 2 inches apart, or following the grid lines.
Next up 2 girl quilt!
I love New Years! As Lucy Maud Montgomery says in Anne of Green Gables
Life is worth living as long as there’s a laugh in it.
Because when you are imagining, you might as well imagine something worth while.
Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it… yet.
Love the clean slate idea. So the question of the month/year is what do I want to accomplish this year. Top of the list is to get healthy! I am doing the eat right and go for a walk a day plan. I will let you know how that works.
On the quilting front I have a lot, I mean really a lot of fabric. I had forgotten how much, yikes.
1. Make a couple of big girl quilts as my granddaughters are moving into twin beds. I have the fabric for these
3. I bought material for Christmas Quilts but did not start them - 3 to make
6. As I was looking for fabric to take a picture of I found 3 I Spy Quilts and 1 Halloween Quilt - let's add them to the list.
