I can not believe it has been 5 months since my last post. I wondered if I shouldn't just close down the blog, but I remembered it's main purpose.....for them.....
So what has been happening? TJ turned 8 last week. I had them for Spring break.
He is growing so fast and I miss that baby boy. This trip he decided he did not need his morning hugs any more...he was 8 now, ya know! I had a heart to heart and convinced him those morning hugs would always be needed! Emerson is growing too!!
She is such a sweet girl, but a bit of a drama queen at times....
She was left out when the boys went down the street...she is still too little to go in the road. I let her come "quilt" with me and she got happy again. Speaking of quilting....she got her quilt!!!
She was thrilled with it. I was happy with it too. I have gotten a lot of quilting done over the winter months. I finished that baby quilt from the last post I made.
The texture was wonderful.
I also made 3 tied quilts for my 3 cousins. Their dad died several years ago and I made quilts using his flannel shirts. Robby and Meghan were very surprised to see them (Sarah was not there, but she got hers too).
I made several minis and a table runner...all gifts.
All hand quilted. Earlier tonight, I took the last quilting stitches in my latest project, a baby quilt for a shower on Saturday.
I will bind it tomorrow and have set a record for myself. I quilted this 50x50 quilt by hand in two weeks. It usually takes me 6....I will say I enjoy it more when I can take my time!
My next project is going to be a scrap quilt....oh and 2 more baby quilts. There is a baby boom at my church!!! All the scraps are chosen and ready to cut.
I can't have a post without sharing the girls....Sassy is still queen of the castle.
Cammy has all the attitude!! She was being told to MOVE off of that quilt.....see the ears? She was giving me what Winona calls the "stink eye"!
I promise to come back SOON, and catch you up on my kids. Leave a comment and let me know you are still out there!!! ;)

Ahh, so good to see you back to blogging. I blogged this week too. I hope to make a post at least once a week, but that depends on if I have anything blog worthy or have the time. It is ever gets warm here again, I will be spending lots of time outdoors. I check the garden that we planted on Mar. 19th. We finally have one tiny little onion coming through the soil. I guess my seeds didn't like those several inches of snow on top of them. LOL Good to have you back, dear. All your quilt projects look so great.
It's lovely seeing how much the grands have grown. That quilt for Emerson is perfect for a little girl :0) You have sure been productive since!

Bren, I know you won't post this and thats okay just wanted to say that I am very happy you are doing well and love all the quilting you have been doing. I have not been doing very well at all, but that is not any of your concern so I won't bore you with the details. Blessings,Joann
