We finally got some snow and it's February 9th! Of course they made it out to be the "stormageddon" well almost.......the news people do love a snowstorm! We only ended up with about 4", hardly a big deal but a good enough reason for me to stay put for the day.
I have been working on some flying geese. These will be a long term project and maybe even a full size quilt! I am using the method that makes 4 at a time. It's very accurate and feels a little like doing magic. The centered deer in the top block was a happy accident!
I was thinking this might be fun to do as a swap. Is anybody out there interested? You can find a tutorial on how to make them right here on my blog.
I made this today as a gift for a friend. I found some antique stamps a few weeks ago and they included some very unique ones.....I will do a post on them another day. They do have some letters missing so I had to improvise with new stamps. The fabric in this pincushion is from Cotton and Steel called Flower Shop that I got in Houston last fall. I think it is coming out in the quilt stores now.

| Sleeping baby, it's good thing |
So far so good. She is only getting up once a night and going right back to sleep. Mom and dad are getting a good night's sleep! She took to breastfeeding right away which really takes a lot of stress off the mommy.
I am busy getting things ready for our annual getaway next week. As usual I can't decide what to bring. Right now I have about 5 projects, too many? Not enough?

those cheeks! She looks like she's pretending to sleep in the first pic. So cozy looking! I'd be content to watch her little hands moving... I love baby fingers and toes! So leeeetle
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the sweet baby pics! So precious. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd for sharing those lovely flying geese. I have not done a swap before, but I might be interested in this one. I have just learned that 4 at a time geese method and I love it as well.
Darling baby girl!! Just adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm up for a swap of flying geese, as long as there's a way to make sure that everyone makes them the same size!! ;-)
I do that same method making 4 at a time-- have been doing them for Temecula Quilt's little sew along. Easy and quick block to make that always looks great in different settings. Count me in!!
What an adorable new granddaughter. Congratulations. Love you're bright geese.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Brynn is a total heart melter!! So precious! As fast as you work, 5 projects sounds about right!
ReplyDeleteThis little girl is soo cute and precious ! And very quiet during the night ! Wow !
ReplyDelete5 projects for a week ? I think it's enough... Enjoy !
She is precious!! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you get a thing done. I would just sit and gaze at her-- when I wasn't kissing and hugging her! That little pink hat...sooo cute.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Cait and Jim that they are getting a good nights sleep. Very unusual. What a perfect baby. Those pics are just so sweet. Love your pin cushion and flying geese. I'm going to check out that tutorial on how to make 4 at once. 5 projects sounds good to me. I need choices because I never know what I will feel like doing. BTW. I started making hexagons. You and funwithbarb inspired me. I'm loving it. Quick and cute. Have fun at your get away
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your flying geese and the pin cushion is a delight.
ReplyDeleteBut baby Brynn is the hit of the post. She is looking so healthy!!
Such bright, happy geese!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet sweet baby girl!!
ReplyDeleteLove your bright geese - I swapped them years ago with 2 buddies and it was fun.
