Completed Projects (how few and far between they are...)


Sam took this picture by himself. It's one of my favorite pictures of the little boys.




The first part of May we were invited to a birthday party for a three year old girl. I didn't have time to go shopping so we made her a bag (what a surprise that probably is to most of my readers- all two of you).  The guinea pig food all of our friends use comes in muslin feed sacks. I've been itching to get my hands on some of them and finally a friend of ours gave me about 40 sacks. They have gotten a lot of use in sack race context. They also make great hidey holes for stuffed animals. I used one for the lining in Camryn's bag. The remnants made for some very classy wrapping paper. We are nothing if not classy.






It feels like we have been very busy with schoolwork and yardwork around here lately. Many, many weeks ago I posted pictures of my fabric for Rylee's quilt and the top for Grandma D's quilt. Today I finally have pictures of the completed Churn Dash quilt for Dave's grandma! My in-laws are headed to Burley tomorrow for Memorial Day and the quilt is complete and ready to go with them. I am so glad to finally have it off my sewing table! It would have been gone long ago but it took forever for the backing fabric to get  here.

I really like the quilt, it turned out great.

I especially like the picture in the tree, I think the trick will be watching when the sun is just low enough to shine a little in the quilt instead or it being in the shadow of the leaves.

Thank you for sharing the photos of your projects. They came out so well! I miss quilting something awful and hope that before long I'll be able to get back to it :)
