Well, i did quite a bit of quilting, binding, and pinning on several projects this weekend. My cousin Christy, aka Jordyn's Godmom, was up for a visit, so we took turns entertaining her while we worked. I captured this very sweet moment of them coloring together, both almost falling asleep in the process.
Christy finished this fun flannel quilt for Jordyn, and as you can see, she loves it!(as does daddy). And what perfect timing...its been in the 20's every morning...brrrrrrr!
I finished quilting my ALQS quilt, but i dont have any photos...perhaps later today? I was planning on hand quilting it, but decided to try out my cousins Pfaff machine while she was here, and WOW...does that thing sew like a dream. So smooth and quiet...very fun indeed. I should have tried out some fancy stitches, but since the design is rather busy, i decided a simple stitch in the ditch was what it needed.
And finally, here are some I-spy fabrics i received in a swap on about.com. There are roughly 150 squares here...and with the ones Anne sent me, and the blocks from my neighbor, i should have enough to make a few I-spy quilts. Thanks again ladies!
Now im off to do some more crafting, as its my free day (Jordyn is at Grandma and Grandpas)...so perhaps ill have more goodies to post soon!
cheers~

Pictures!!! we need pictures! like your new header and blog design - or perhaps it's not that new, as I tend to read in bloglines unless I have time to comment :)
My old eyes can't read the print on the new dark background.
i work on a mac, and their monitors tend to be brighter than pc...so sorry about that christine. Nothing more frustrating than illegible font. i changed the font to white, and enlarged it...hope this helps :)
You did this just for me? Thanks. The white on purple is fine.
WOW, thats a nice photo you got of Jordyn and I, I love it!! Love the picture of the two of them bundled in the quilt. I got to see the live show of all the ispy pieces, it was very COOL! love ya cous'
That first photo is beautiful. Love the I spy blocks.
I love the pics of Jordyn with Dadday and Christy.
The swap fabrics look great. You need lots of fabrics for an I-Spy quilt, but only a bit of each.
