Well life goes on and aren't we all too busy? Times just flies by and it seems not much gets done no matter how hard we try to finish all those projects. Especially when family comes first. DH and I spent most of last Saturday visiting our granddaughter and her newest addition, he really is a precious bundle of love. This week has been spent doing last minute quilts for clients and the final prep for market in Houston. I have to tell you, these little gift bags are so much fun to make, you just have to see what I did with some great fabric.
The green is a new
Moda Christmas line and the great blue/purple print is a
Blank, I am doing the whole set but the other two aren't finished yet. I am in the process of doing a black/gold set and it is sooooo rich looking. On the black set I am using a curvey blade in my rotary so that the seam allowance that shows will be wavey instead of straight. They will be great just as a gift for a friend or to put a gift into or to just sit around with "things" in them like a small storage box. They have Steam-A-Seam 2 between the fabrics so they are stiff enough to sit up nicely. The tall bag is perfect to hold a bottle of wine.
I thought I had photos of the quilts I finished this week but I can't seem to find them, oh well next time.
Last week our youngest granddaughter started pre-school and just loves it, she said she wanted to go to school to learn how to read. She was tired of having to have someone else read to her, she is 3 1/2 and she will probably be reading before the end of the year. She is amazing, here is the latest photo of her, her dad took this when they visited a hot springs near their new home.
Two of our older granddaughters just got their driving permits, watch out Monticello and Eau Claire. All of our students are getting great grades, our pharmacist-to-be is at the top of his class and working hard at staying there, he wants to be invited to the Honor Society and he'll make that goal I'm sure. Well enough for now, have a Blessed Day.
