Jojo - 9 months


Here is my Jojo boy with Calah at almost 9 months old. He is getting so big so fast! I am not sure what his weight is these days but he was at 75 lbs a month ago.

February - Memory Lane


These are the 4 February blocks for Block Central's Memory Lane quilt. This is the entire middle section and it's much bigger than it looks. The blocks are not sewn together because there will be pieces in between. I kind of like them like this, but I didn't design it so we will see how it comes along.

February Blocks

These are my February blocks for the Harmony Village quilt. This block is all from scrap material so it should be interesting as it progresses. I like it so far :-).

Today....

It's Sunday and so ugly outside - rainy, possible snow :-(. I am totally not motivated to do anything. All my kids are off somewhere today, it's just me, my hubby and the dogs. I have been in my sewing room for a few hours at this point and I have not accomplished anything except playing a few games on Facebook and I bought a new bathing suit for my upcoming Scuba class. I really want to sew, but I think I am so far behind that I can't seem to get motivated. Well it's only 10:30am so maybe one more cup of coffee and I will get started...... Good luck with your day :-).

February Block Swap

This is the bloc I made for my February Block swap. It's called a Monkey Wrench. I think it's interesting. This is going to Debbie in Alberta, Canada. She requested anything pink & brown :-).
Here is the block I received. Thank you Debbie.

Jojo

I love my dogs! I promise I love my kids too :-). Jojo is almost 7 months old. We went to the vet yesterday and he weighs 65 lbs. Jimi also weighs 65lbs but he is shorter and more solid. Jojo is tall and thin. The vet said yesterday they think he will be over 200lbs. Wow! Not sure about that one, we will see.

Harmony Village - 2009 BOM

I don't believe this quilt has a name, but it is another Block of the month I found online. This one is from a quilt shop in Australia. Looks like it will be interesting and the whole quilt is made from scraps I already have in my pile of fabric, so technically this quilt is free (maybe.... well it sounds good).

Memory Lane - Block Of The Month

Ok...... So at this point my husband is laughing at me and all my NEW projects, because I have so many unfinished. I tried to explain it's that left brain, short attention span thing but he is an Army man and does not understand this concept. I have officially started 2 new block of the months for 2009 and I have 3 more that I started saving patterns for but have yet to begin :-). Time, time, time..... where does it go?
This is the new block central block of the month quilt. This is 4 blocks (all for January). The entire quilt is called Memory Lane.


You can see full pattern here.
I have the 2008 quilt top almost complete, I just need to pick up more fabric for one more border, it's not quite big enough for our spare bedroom bed (which is where I finally decided it was going).
