A Princess and Her Throne

Emerson got a new potty!!! She loved it!!! It has a handle for "flushing" that makes royal sounds! Too cute.
She also got a package of panties.....she is growing up so fast!!
Ok, so not that fast!
I spent a few hours with the grandkids yesterday and I just get such enjoyment out of them. I took TJ for ice cream, like I do every visit. It has become our tradition. Emerson will have to join us soon. She was sleeping when we went, but enjoyed some of Charlotte's ice cream cone when we returned.
I also worked some in my sewing room yesterday. Saturday, I attended the first ever Acorn Quilting Group....I think we will be calling ourselves the Acorn Quilters. It is a small group of hand quilters and let me tell you....it was FUN!!! Three of the ladies were from my hand quilting class that I taught in April. They are doing beautifully. One lady has started doing all the little quilts in the "Prairie Children and Their Quilts" book.....for me those are Libby quilts. I was so inspired by the one she brought, I dug out my book and pieced another one myself. I decided to do the Native American quilt.I chose my fabrics to match the ones in the book. (Forgive the lighting in these pics. My sewing room needs some lighting magic.) You will see that later, I changed most of those. I got all my half square triangles made up and trimmed the "dog ears"....is that right? Goodness, that sounds so much better than my previous verbiage!When putting these little blocks together, I had to be so careful of placement. You can see this so blatantly in the picture, but in real life, it was not so easy to spot.....This is better.....I am glad I never had to pull out my seam ripper!!
Once all the blocks were done, I decided I did not like the medium blue for a background, nor did I want the green or tan for the borders.I wanted that yellow/gold to pop....I got that gold fabric in Galena. I decided to add another Galena fabric and used a dark olive green for the background, and pulled the red and indigo into the borders. I am very pleased with the outcome.I picked up the backing fabric for TJ's sailboats. Stars will go nicely. I plan to get that basted this week sometime.It has been hot and humid here, which means the air is on and no windows are opened. That is not pleasing to Sassy AT ALL. She roams from window to window meowing. Finally she walks over and just bites my leg!! For NO reason, she just bites me....she wants to play.Well that is it for now. I am going to get my week going in a positive direction. It is too hot and thick to walk outside right now, so I plan to get on my treadmill this morning and then get a jump on laundry and plan out the rest of my week.
Have a blessed day!!!!
