#47   Homemaker  

I think the reason they named this one homemaker is because it is hard!!  I will probably redo this one later as I am not happy with it, but I was too tired to fix it!

#80   Single Wedding Star

Did You Know?

That boys are not handsome unless they have a bow-tie?   I have this from a good source, my 4 yo son.  Well, if that is true I can not set my sons up for being ridiculed for the rest of their lives.  Thank goodness I found this tutorial.

 Now they are handsome!

Farmer's Wife Quilt-a-Long - wk 1

I came across the blog, msmcporkchopquilts, a little while ago and found out that she was co-hosting a quilt-a-long using The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt book.  This is my sort of quilt along as she is doing 2 blocks a week and they are not in the same order as her co-host.  That gives me complete freedom to quilt what I want to!  I have started a little behind, so the first several weeks will happen very quickly.  I let my 4 yo son pick my first several blocks.  He thinks this is really cool and I am relishing every minute of that!  Without further ado, here are my first two blocks!!!

#2   Autumn Tints

All I can tell you about the fabric is the solid orange is from IKEA, the rest are scraps that I inherited.

#71   Puss in the Corner

Again, I don't know anything about the fabrics, as they were not purchased by me.

Today was my daughter's last day of school.  I am SO excited!  Hopefully I can finish this project soon with all my new free time!
