Quilt #2 - Ryan's

I finally have Ryan's quilt done, well almost. I still have the borders to do yet. I was able to work on it today in between laundry.

Here is Lauren to with her latest school project. I thought she did really well on her fish. She really likes to pose, as you can tell here.

Hope to post more later this week, it should be a slower week for me.

Slacking on my blog posts

Sorry I have been slacking big time on my posts. I can't believe it was the 4th of March since the last time I posted. Wow, this month has flew by. The quilt retreat was a success even though I forgot my sewing machine. I did manage to get my first quilt pieced together all but the border. Which is now done and a lady in Albia is quilting it for me. I'm pretty excited but I don't think as excited as my mom is to have me quilting. It is additive and I just love picking out fabric. I am not getting for going another hobby, I will just have more unfinished hobby projects laying round. Oh well, what's one more hobby.
It was nice to have a few days off last week for spring break. We just headed to my parents and got to relax. Its back to work now but excited its Wednesday tomorrow. I hope to have some pictures posted on here by the weekend. It might even be a picture of Ryan's quilt which will be #2.
Have a great week.

Retreat weekend plans

My friend Heidi and I are heading to a quilt/scrap booking retreat this weekend. We will be leaving Friday night and returning Sunday afternoon. We are excited to get away for a few days. We don't get this opportunity very often, no kids and no husband. Mom will be their quilting with her friends. Yes she talked me into quilting, she did give me a few lessons a couple of weekends ago. She also let me take home her extra quilting stuff and her small sewing machine to practice with. I really enjoy it so far, not that much different that putting a scrapbook page together. I'm sure to get a lot more lessons and quilting tips this weekend. I know Heidi and and will have a blast. I will post Sunday or Monday all about it.
