WIP - baby quilt for Ella

 ellas-quilt-close-up.jpeg

I took today off and I’ve been cutting and sewing all morning.  This is the first of many baby quilts to come.  I am hoping, HOPING that I’ll finish this quilt by the end of the weekend.  So far all the horizontal strips are done.  You can see that I’m not a big fan of ironing but I’ll have to do some major ironing before joing the strips together.  This quilt is actually going pretty fast because I’m not doing precise cutting or piecing so there are no corners to match up (yay!).

A little break

I went to Maryland to visit my folks and my grandmother who I haven’t seen in a few years (she was living in CA and recently came back).  My grandma said that I look strong and like a boy … that’s what I get for getting a haircut right before my visit.

And here are my cousins playing Wii boxing.  I tried it too and beat the crap out of my 10 year old cousin.  You can really work up a sweat swinging punches in the air.  Boy these games have come a long way since Super Mario Brothers (that’s what I played when I was a kid, ahem, in high school).  What will they think of next?

And here’s Molly Lolly hiding under the table for some peace and quiet because we get pretty rowdy when the whole family’s together (all 4 of my grandma’s daughters and their husbands and kids).  We were at one of my aunt’s house for BBQ and crabs (hey, we’re Marylanders after all).  I think my grandma was happy that all of us were together.

Create your own South Park character

Me!  I think my friends would say it’s a pretty good likeness.  My head is really that big.

A very pink quilt DONE!

The final prize for my 100th post giveaway…a pink quilt for Vivian.  I finally finished quilting and binding this baby this weekend.  This is my very first real quilt and I think I’m ready to move on to baby quilts.  This little one is about 12″x16″.

A cool link

A friend sent me this link http://www.mr-lee-catcam.de/pe_catcam1.htm.  Someone has attached a little camera to his cat’s collar and now we get to see what a cat does when it’s outside all day.  How cool is that?
