My very first Quilt!

Well, its completed! I've made my very first quilt. Of course I've pieced four more; as I was immediately hooked, but this is the very first completed and ready to give away. Start to finish it took me almost a year. It was much more difficult to find someone to do the longarm quilting for me (for a reasonable price) than I thought it would be, but I found Amy through Bearpaws and Hollyhocks and am pleased with her work. Binding was a bit more tricky than I thought it would be, especially since I am a lazy woman and couldn't even entertain the idea of hand stitching one bit of this thing. So, the binding is a bit off and, as things always go, I learned a great deal on what NOT to do while I was completing this.

Here is the story of this quilt:

Finally! - Trips, crafts and much, much more!

I can't believe its been over a month since I posted! So much has happened, no way I'll be able to cover it all; but I promise I'll do my very best.

If you will, please follow me on this journey in the "way back" machine!

The Wagon

Nope, no one's fallen of of it yet :). But, it has come in really handy! (Thank you so much Sus!) Since we don't have a double stroller and Punkin' refuses to walk sometimes, we often take it on walks. The girls and I have been getting outside a little more since the weather has improved and we're all grateful to get out of the house and get a little exercise!

"Woa! This is so much fun, huh Sis?"
