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
