Finished Project Friday: Kate's Quilt

Image
By
Here's Kate's quilt.  (You can click on all the pictures to see them larger.)  I barely got it done in time.  Once again, my mom came to the rescue and slipstitched the binding for me while I was feverishly sewing Kate's baptism dresses.  I love Kate's quilt more than Eliza's.  Is that bad of me?  Maybe I will always love the quilt I finish the best right after I finish it.

This was a free pattern I found on Moda Bakeshop Blog.  I love all their patterns and can't wait to try out another one.  I've got one in mind for Maryanne's toddler bed, and already have the material too ... so I'll get started on that one for her birthday.

I didn't quilt this quilt.  I wish I had the talent for that ... it would seriously save me some money, and when I have quilted (smaller projects) I found it to be so relaxing and peaceful work.  Maybe one day when I have more time to devote to learning the trade.  Until then, I am really pleased with this quilt ... by far one of the best I've ever made.

The last picture is of Kate with most of her birthday presents that I made for her.  The scripture tote (and now the quilt) you are all familiar with, but the pillowcase is new.  I LOVE it!  And, I want to make one for me.  It is quilted with batting and such and is so soft!  (This I quilted myself ... so easy, just straight lines.)  You can't see the ruffle very well, but I followed this tutorial, and have a sham quilted and ready to go, but I still need to add the backing and ties.  I'll get that done maybe for Christmas too!  Anyway, in case any of you were interested to see her quilt and stuff, here they are!

so cute!! I love it!! I also love that it's the perfect style that she can use even when she's in college. Assuming she doesn't love it to death before then.

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
