Aaaack! The days are flying by!

The days just seem to fly by lately. Things are hustling and bustling at our house. Emily came home from college last Thursday and Jenna will be home later this week. Emily is busy baking cookies before Wednesday when she has shoulder surgery and won't be able to do anything for awhile! I"m just trying to keep up with them and work.

I did make these for some gifts this year for friends. Little Kindle and iTouch/iPhone holders. Holly found them online and wanted to know if I could make them. It took a few tries, and let me tell you the first few were really, really funny looking, but I finally figured them out! Some of these will be going to new homes this week!

UGGGG and while I was typing this I heard a metal cling, clang, cling, clang. I go into the kitchen and what did I find? Miss Chloe up on the table licking butter out of the bowl for the frosting for the cookies. She has NEVER done that before. Geez. So much for that butter! Look at that face - can you believe it?!

Things are just Peachy... no Peary... no Figgy!!!

Look what I got in the mail today!!!!! I won a drawing on Joanna Figueroa's blog "Fresh Figs" for Fig Tree Quilts!

She even sent me the "kit" to make her really soft and fuzzy Pear (Oh maybe it is a fig - I"m a midwestern girl - I have no idea what a fig looks like)! Course now I"m going to want to go out and find more soft fleece/minke (whatever it is) to make more! How fun was this mail day!

Oh and can't WAIT to make those little bags in the middle of the bottom row!

And because poor Chloe is missing E so much, she made a little movie to say hi to her.....

Nothing new going on....

Not much new going on, or to show you. I"ve been sewing down bindings on quilts you've seen already and started hand quilting my strippy coins quilt - so nothing to show you. Work has been busy so I"ve mostly been on my computer working away - another reason nothing is getting done!
So, I"m bringing back a few quilts, but new pictures. The top one is the quilt that Bonnie quilted for me back in October. But here it is all washed and crinkly! It is hanging up in my family room right now which brightens the room. And I have a closeup of the crinkly look around the quilting.

It has been snowing out and Chloe loves the snow. I wanted to get a picture of her playing in it - but my camera lens gets all full of snow! But it is so funny, she goes to pick up the frisbee and flips up the powdery snow all over her face and then looks at you like "who did that?"! Yesterday Jenna caught her taking a nap on Emily's bed so that picture was too cute not to share! (Chloe is not allowed on the beds in our house except for Emily's - she knows!)

Folk Art Threads Quilt

Just wanted to share a picture of a quilt that was a UFO for a few years until I finally sent it to Bonnie to quilt fans on it! I just got it back and doesn't it look wonderful! I actually have had it for about a week, but the lighting has been so bad until today! Plus I got the sleeve sewn down to hang it up! Doesn't she just do a wonderful job! I can't wait to get the binding sewn down so that I can wash it and make it all crinkly! I love that crinkly look!

And here was my helper today as I hung up quilts for pics. (Yes I'll have a few more to share in the next few days).
