This is the quilt I made him for his birthday. It has some of our favorite fabrics in it that I've previously used to make things for him. Mostly though, it's Michael Miller Dick and Jane collection which I bought last summer and never used. I'm so happy that I was able to use almost all of what I had, and only had to return about a yard to my stash. It was a productive project on that account. I am really building up quite a stash of fabric and it is getting out of hand. This was a bit of a PITA to complete, especially the binding, but I am just so happy with the way that it came out. Took about two weeks, start to finish. I have a host of other projects that I want to work on next; such as a quilt for the new baby, one of my sister's baby, a new diaper bag (and maybe one for her too), etc. But right now I am a bit burnt out at the machine and am taking a break.
Spring is arriving here. We planted some pansies this week and they seem to be taking off. My MIL will be coming for a few days and I am so looking forward to it. She is an awesome cook and happily will cook for all of us the entire time she is here. Delightful! Also the town wide garage sale is this weekend and i am optomistic that I will scout out some cheap baby gear to add to our collection. I am looking for a swing, a bouncy seat, and if I come across a jumper I will snatch that too. I gave away those three things to a friend about a year ago...she passed them on to someone else who also passed it along; and alas...now they can't seem to be located. Lesson learned!
Cleaning is necessary...need to work on that next!
