A tutorial in progress! (and crossing things off my list)

We are always working on things and at any point we probably have a dozen things in various stages of completion.  We get overly excited to share things with you all and sometimes we can’t wait…. take this quilt for example.

Cute!

It’s a terrible cellphone picture, but it shows a bit of what we did with it.  I can hardly wait to get the tutorial out for this one!  It is so fun and easy with a little twist on something you already know!!  :)

The fabric is adorable, it’s a new line from Riley Blake called Alphabet Soup.  It comes in boy or girl colorways and I just love it!!  It is definitely a refreshing addition to the baby (especially specific gender) lines.  It seems like we are always lacking a good baby line. Not anymore.

Did you have a good weekend?  Finish any thing or get any sewing done?  The Quilt shop was insanely BUSY this weekend and we had a lot of out of town visitors!!  {which we LOVE}  Today we are just going to focus on catching up.  And boy do I have a lot of that to do.

The kids had a great first day of school and I am busy trying to get a schedule together and get back on track.  My youngest had his pre-school orientation this morning (which is why the blog is late)  I can’t believe he will start classes on Wednesday.  (only half day, thankfully cause I would be really, really lonely)

What a crazy fast summer that was, for us.  I am excited though, looking forward to Fall.  I have some fun house projects I need to work on, especially curtains.  I take my precious time trying to decide on what I want and I think I am close to having it all figured out!  Don’t worry, I plan on sharing my progress.

Have a wonderful day today!  I hope you can get back into the groove and get some things on your list crossed off!

    Sarah,, i love this new idea… these are the quilt types i love best… i just can’t get into the “structured, matchy matchy ones”… i admire them so, but not fun for me….
    This weekend, here in MA. area we had a Hurricane!  We lucked out… only one skinny pine tree fell on “the most convenient section” of our roof.. minimal damage…Hubby had it all removed and cut up by the the end of the day…  We live in a retirement comm. where they do all the work… ya’ right,,, i’ve got the DH that races to get things done before they can get to it!!! 
    The one good thing is that if ever we are unable to do it,, they will take care of things…
    I remember the back to school times.. i worked in a grocery store for years… you could see all the Moms coming thru with the kids getting all the “lunch packing items”… and the smiles on the Moms were from ear to ear… the looks on the kids faces was hysterical!!!  Ah the good old days..
    Anywhooooo… loved the flying geese tut,,, I hope Eleanor Burns was impressed with your Mom and how much you girls have done… Eleanor intorduced the style that makes people feel at home and comfortable… Your Mom is carrying the torch to continue..Thanks Jenny… hugs to all at MSQC from Barbara!
