I’d love to make one of these for my toddlers– I could see it occupying one 2 year old I know for quite a while.

Brenna’s quilt
Remember the quilt Brenna and I were working on? It’s done! Instead of basting and free motion quilting it myself I decided to go with plan B. I sent the finished quilt top and back fabric to my mom who lives near the best quilt store I’ve ever been to. She can rent time on their long arm quilting machines and the work she does is always amazing. This one is no exception. Brenna LOVES it!
My mom even bound it too. It’s a truly 3 generation project, the 48 blocks pieced by Brenna, everything squared up and sewn together by me, and then finished to perfection by my mom. What a treasure.
Here’s a shot of the back:
The girl room is coming together. I think we can fit another one in there. During Barry’s long June the loft bed got built.
We’re getting there. About a month to go. The hot days go by so slowly, but the weeks are whizzing by.
summer, crazy summer
So, I’ve been pretty neglectful of this space. Barry had most of June off as he wound down from one assignment and prepared to start a command position this past week. That was such a wonderful break– I never got a chance to make dinner (bummer), only had to deal with half of the poopy diapers, and had time to work on designing a new sewing pattern! It also meant that I had a hard time figuring out my routine and how to have my own computer time. Hopefully for the next week or so I’ll have a bit of a normal routine, but then on to swimming lessons and then a new baby…
But, do you want to see what we did today?
We went to the reservoir with friends with boats. Why is it that every time we get to go boating I can’t water ski because I’m pregnant? I guess since I’ve been pregnant for something like 12 years straight (or at least it feels that way). It was still fun– my little Hunter just snuggled up as close as he could to me and fell asleep to the hum of the motor, the fresh air, and sunshine.
