An Evening Of Sewing

I just really couldn't get in the mood to sew until this evening. I was just really bored and restless. We got a little snow this morning and then it rained and melted it off. I worked on my "Churn Dash" I cut out my blocks, borders, and binding.


I sewed 8 more blocks tonight. That makes a total of 16 blocks. I don't have them all sewn into rows yet, actually I have a section of 8 sewn together, but the ones that I did tonight are not.

Hopefully, I will get more of it done tomorrow. I'm not in any big rush to finish it. I still need to pull out some fabric for my "Steps To The Alter" quilt. I'm being a little bit lazy on it. As soon as I finish my Churn Dash I will get back to working on it. I have a few other small projects that I would like to do within the next few days too. One of them is a "Sock Monkey" for Hunter. I have everything for it, I just need to sit down and do it.

Last but not least, here is a photo of my little one, Hunter. He fell asleep on the couch this evening, sucking his thumb. He has never sucked his thumb...

What a little angel you have there!

I sure like the churn dash...I have seen that pattern many times but just kept on looking...but seeing yours makes me want to try it soon.

I want to get on some machine sewing soon...but I have a large scrap book project going and that has to be finished! It is one the centennial parade that was back in October and I am just now getting around to doing the layout.

Kristie,
You amaze me at all of the quilting you accomplish! How do you do it all? I was going to let you know that my nephew's wife wanted me to tell you to add her if you had a MySpace account. I gave her your blog url so she could
look at it. She has a little boy in Kindergarden also and I thought your boys may be going to the same school. I can give you her MySpace
if you want, just let me know. DebW

There is nothing to pull your heart strings like a sleeping baby. (and no matter how big, they are always our baby!)

It looks like you have been pretty busy to me! I like the churn dash also, and those are neat fabrics to use for it.

That quilt is going to be smashing. The picture of Hunter is so precious he's such a little cutie. I don't care how big they get or how old they are always our babies.

I love the colors in your churn dash! Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Kids are so sweet when they are sleeping.
