Not a lot of sewing has been going on around here lately. But a whole lot of life has been happening!
Everything from taking the grands to Seattle for a week.....
.....to vacationing in Destin with our son and his family and some of the boys' friends.....
.....to having knee surgery.
And the other night we made s'mores in the courtyard here at home.
Aidan really enjoyed them. I think everyone did.
Gavin is at the stage where he doesn't want any photos taken. He humored me.
I did get an actual quilting project started this month for the 2013 NewFo Challenge.
These three blocks are for a baby quilt and the fabric might be for the border. I have all the blocks finished and the sashing is cut, but that's as far as it is right now. Baby quilts usually get completed around here, though, because there's a definite deadline on those. That means there will probably be photos of a finished quilt soon!
I'm linking up to Barbara's Linky Party. You might want to take at look at what others are working on.
Excuses, excuses. Or should I say, Reasons, reasons. I have been too busy to sew lately let alone blog about it! I guess I should have just been blogging instead about my crazy life, at least then you would know why I'm not sewing.
The last sewing I did was at the June retreat I told you about. Here are a few of the things that have kept me busy the last several months.
Two of my sisters, Barb and Dee, came to see me for a weekend.
My sister, Debbie and her girls, Natalie, Carrie and Emily, came to see me for a weekend.
Hubby and I took our grands to Seattle for a week to visit our son, Aaron, and see the sights.
We spent a week in Destin, Florida with our son, Adam and his family.
I celebrated a birthday!
This is what my sewing room has looked like for over a month. It was turned into an extra guest room and it has stayed that way. Hard to sew like that!
The one thing I did manage to finish was the NewFo I started in May. It was a completed top so it only needed hand-quilting and binding. That's not work, though. That's therapy!
And here's the reason I managed to get this one quilt completed at all. Little Gracee Mae-Rose, our newest great-niece. After all, every new baby needs a quilt!
This has been a whirlwind summer. One last thing will keep me from sewing this week - the AQS Quilt Show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I'm going with my sweet friend, Faye, where I know I will be inspired and motivated to get sewing again. I feel pretty certain that I'll be in my sewing room when I get home from that.
