This week has been all about kids. Yesterday we invited the neighbors over for an Easter Egg Hunt and dinner. It was a sunny but windy day. The kids had a great time.
We have a great tree line to hide the eggs,
This week the grandkids and I had a tie dye session........don't they look bored? Look at those weeds in the background.....
They did enjoy it.
I think they did a great job!
Even though I have 4 kids of my own, I have forgotten how hard it was to keep them occupied! We would jump from project to project.
There was no way we were doing a sewing project. Maddy took a time out from the kids to go down to "her" sewing room and work on the design wall.
She loves taking scraps and pinning them to death on the design wall. A sewer in training...
These are the quilts that myself and several other ladies made for a book that will be coming out soon. Bob, the designer and author of the book, had us all over for a party to celebrate! The food was great, the company even better. We all had fun.
I will post pictures of all the quilts as soon as the book is out.
Now that the Easter bunny has gone back home, life should settle down a bit and I can get back into the sewing room. I am looking forward to tomorrow's diary block. I have 2 little helpers who are designing the block for me.

This looks like a whole lot of wonderful fun! Nothing beats an Easter Egg hunt with lots of children.
ReplyDeleteAnd the results of the dyeing project look great, too.
The quilts..... can't wait to see.
How fun! Your Maddy looks very serious at the design wall. Will we be buying her fabric line in a few years time?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time. Love the shirts. I think I see that pink and green quilt you were working on.

ReplyDeleteYou Have been busy!! Your garden looks amazing for Easter egg hunts. I go to my pantry for Easter egg hunts, hee hee. The tie die shirts are wonderful, what a great momento for the children to take home. Maddy is so cute playing with you design wall!! Are those all different types of Log Cabins!?! How exciting, I'm really loving log cabins at the moment.

I see your pink and green quilt on the couch - what a nice looking group and fun party.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more fun that an egg hunt - how cute. Love the T-shirts!
My 2yo Older Grandson loves putting scraps on the design wall too - but we don't use pins; we just press them against the flannel because he'll pull them all down soon enough (or his 10 month old brother will!)
