It's About Time!

Has it really been that long since I have blogged?? Obviously it has.Here are some quick notes on my life since my last post:

My birthday has passed(I got an Ipod-welcome to the 21st century!)
Katie cooked a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
Joe and Adrienne were home for Christmas.
Dylan is crawling and has a tooth.
Little Michael is preparing for his first communion.
Wedding plans for Adrienne and Joe are in full swing. I am now looking for a dress that does not scream Mother of the Bride but is still appropriate.

And, I am actually finishing some quilts! That is what my first post of 2009 will be about. A couple of weeks ago I visited my good friend in Virginia. (my shopping will get a separate blog ASAP) While there we shopped and sewed. I started this quilt there. It is a strip quilt that I completed in a couple hours. I machine quilted it when I got home:



Here is a closeup on one of the panels:



The next quilt I started when I when to my retreat at Watson. I had hoped to have it finished as a gift for my husband before he got my Discover bill but that didn't happen. But I did finished it this week!



This is one of the squares:



This last quilt is for Lauren's boyfriend's mom. She has been having some health problems so I made her a comfort quilt. It is left over fabric just cut into strips and then machine quilted. I appliqued some hearts on because it looked a little boring. I hope she likes it!


This is the label that I put on the back:


Tomorrow I will tell you about my two latest trips!
