So on Mother’s Day I did end up sewing all day 🙂 In fact, I worked on one of the charity quilts I brought home the day before. I started on the small one first, pinned and quilted it:

Here is a close up of the quilting (dont’ look too close!):

The binding was quick and easy, just trimmed and folder the backing and then used a decorative stitch to secure it:

One down, one more to go.

The quilt group buys a fabric pack each month from Keepsake Quilting, and this month was florals. I picked these two pieces on Saturday:

Pretty aren’t they…. not sure what to use them for, but they will come in handy one day I hope…!

I have also been washing and ironing fabric because the mice got into it at the old house. On the weekend I ironed a pile of purples:

Now to make space on the already full shelves…!

I can’t believe it is the middle of the week already. I woke up this morning with a very sore throat and blocked up nose. Yukky. Hopefully I’ll get over it soon because I am organizing a homeschool conference on the weekend… no cuddling cute babies, I’ll have to stay well away from them!

Hope you are all having a great week and don’t catch my cold!!!!
