Card reads, "Hands down...I love you the bestest!!!  {made up entirely by muaw}

Cards are one of those things that I look at on Etsy all the time,but never put forth the effort to make any of them.  Lazy bones I'm guessin'.

We had a great Valentines Day!  The hubby surprised me with wooden roses, {yes I said wooden} they last forever!  Also, he gifted me with some delicious Godiva chocolates YUM!  Ayden and I were also lucky enough to be his dates for the evening at an excellent local seafood restaurant.

Finally we went and bought some new phones at At&t that were desperately needed {honest}.  Galaxy has my *heart* when it comes to phones now!

 I found a really great quilting app the other day on there that I was able to plug in measurements to and instantly it gave me the exact amt I needed for this binding!  Sold!

 There is a really sweet,very helpful gal on my MOPS board that is due any day now with a baby boy.  Max will be his name to be exact.  I decided at the last minute that I was going to make her a quilt for Max!  I gathered up all of the blues and greens I could muster from my scrap bins first.  Then I pulled some flannel out from my stash closet and got to work.  It took me 3 days altogether to pull this one together and I was quite taken by the results.

It is sooooo stinking soft and cuddly.  I almost didn't want to part with it ya know.  Usually I don't fall for flannel fabric due to it pilling easily and quickly after a couple washes.  Anyone else relate?  I stay clear for the most part.  Well I bought this print that says "I love daddy, I love mommy."  Joann's had it on clearance and I guess at the time I had to have it apparently.  It finally sprung free and landed softly into this baby quilt!

Can't recall the last time I did a patchwork quilt either.  I need to do some more because they can be pretty *easy does it.*

Besides the flannel luxurious feel,there is also a very near to my heart print in there.  Backyard Baby Windy Day by Pat Sloniger is just unbelievably precious!!!!  Swings and trees are a good thing as is,but then the designer went and added a sweet dog and a carved heart in each tree---oh boy!!!!!!  This had to make it to the back of this quilt.....it was meant to be!

You know I stare at chevron fabric all the time online and in the store too,but I never buy any.  Why oh why do I torture myself.  Again.  And.  Again.  ???  Chevrons are heaven!!!!!

And just because of a certain 5 yr old at my house, here is a pic shared with a certain Angry Bird;)

Side note: The baby quilt was received with a surprise face from the mommy and a sincere thank you.

Goal accomplished.

Happy Day,

Sara
