Cherub is 5 months!

Alan is 5 months - I can't believe how much he's changed.  Every day he does something new, stay upright longer, rock on the pillow, stand longer, eat solid food- babies are so wonderful to watch and this grandma is having so much fun.

Stash Report 5/15/11

It's a great relief to have all the to do list done - visitors from CO - it was great having you! - siggie quilt presented - class completed (boo hoo - it was so good), first communion attended.   I don't have any deadlines at the moment and it feels wonderful!  Just have 4 months of ufos to catch up on and a monochromatic quilt to finish - LOL, but none of these are deadlines, just goals.  I hope to get some quilty time in now everyday.  How about you?

Blogger's Quilt Festival is here!

This is the most wonderful eye candy that comes to us semi-annually from Amy.  I guarantee you will see a lot of great quilts to admire and inspire.  And there's a bunch of yummy giveaways too!

Here's my entry:  Rescued Log
   I went to a yard sale close by and found they were selling a bag of fabric for $10.  It was a large bag.  In there with all the yardage was this partial quilt that looked like it had been cut up  for use as something else.  Two sides had jagged edges.  I loved the colors so I bought the whole bag.  I took the quilt apart and had about 13 blocks.  I used four of them to repair 4 others that needed bringing up to size.  They were already quilted, so I decided to put them back together as a Quilt as you Go quilt.  My daughter-in-law in Colorado had admired the blocks and when it was done, I sent it to her for her birthday.  She is very happy with it.  And I'm happy I was able to salvage someone's log cabin.

See all the other quilts at Amy's Creative Side post for her Blogger Quilt Festival.  You'll be glad you did!
