Callaway Gardens

I have been so busy with my kids I haven't had any time to sew.... Life as mom :-). Check out this picture I took at Callaway Gardens last weekend. Isn't it pretty? I have no idea what type of butterfly that is, but I was amazed at some of the pictures I was able to take.

My new car.....

Yeah!!! I bought a 4 door Jeep Wrangler last week. I LOVE it, love it, love it! It is such a great car for me and my family. We all fit in it very comfortably, even my 2 dogs :-). We are going to have so much fun in it next summer, I can't wait.

Finished Blanket!

OK, So I sorta cheated and mailed this quiltop to my mom and had her take it to her local quilt shop to be quilted. I will NEVER finish another blanket again. It cost me less than $50 and this lady quilted my whole blanket with this cool stars and swirls design in varigated thread. AND she did the binding.
I absolutely love it! Isn't it pretty? My only complaint is the batting is really thin, so next time I will have to send my own.
Alot of my friends have seen this blanket, it was hanging on the wall in my old house as I was completing blocks.
Once I finished the whole top, I didn't like it all together so I took a few pieces off and made the blanket smaller. So it has become a large lap quilt (It was supposed to be a king).
It turned out so good! I am so proud. Don't tell anyone I cheated....
