spoke too soon

The weather is not spring, but I did finish another quilt top.  This one a little smaller than the first.  I couldn't stash that fabric.  It is too Spring.  





Snow day!!  Snow day!!  I have been waiting for a snow day since last fall.  What would be better, a snow day on a Monday!! 

Spring Fever

I saw a tutorial from Film in the Fridge blog. 

This is the easiest quilt top ever.




It is pieced and ready to pin and quilt.  Happy Spring!!

sew and quilt

I haven't quilted yet, so I guess it's still sewing. 

I had two (or three) weekends of sewing and now I have lots of pictures to post.    I am making a king-sized quilt.  I hope to quilt it on the Flynn Multiframe System I got for Christmas (last year). 



I laid out the layer cake (10 inch squares) of "Gobble Gobble", cut the strips and cross section pieces for the design.  I found the design on the Piece N Quilt blog.



Then, I started sewing the pieces together with the sashing in the off white and the cross sections in a wheat that perfectly matches one of the pieces of the layer cake.




Now the pieces are sewn together. 

I played with my camera this morning to show some detail. 




It is still a WIP (work in progress).

10.14.10

This happened a few days ago so I must post it before I forget. 

On 10/14/2010, A did an amazing feat (a noteworthy or extraordinary act or achievement, usually displaying boldness, skill) at gymnastics:

On floor; round off back hand spring, back tuck.

On bars; front hip circle, squat on, jump to high bar, kip

I am not sure what all that means, but I do know her coach said it was a pretty good trick, A was the first one to do it.

The weather in Wyoming is great.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there is no "S" (insert the word "snow" here but don't say it aloud or it may come true) until after Halloween. 


Have a great weekend!

10.10.10

October 10, 2010, came and went, but this is what we did yesterday. 

We visited Koltiska's Pumpkin Patch.


She picked the perfect pumpkin,


and posed by the nice pumpkin scene. 




Then we went to the Kendrick Mansion. 



I took pictures of flowers,



fall berries,


more berries, (I know enough with the berries), but its so fallish and it's October in Wyoming. 



I also took pictures of my sister's family,



(obviously they are all looking at the professional photographer and not me.)


my kid,


a beautiful fall tree at the mansion,


and berries.
