Day 299

I have currently completed 20 blocks for my buggy barn quilt. This is a crappy picture so I'm not sure if it's mainly the lighting or my iPhone or both, so sorry the colors look really washed out. Tonight was our quilting group so I took them to show off as some of the other gals have their buggy barns completed and here is the young mom of the group still plugging along. I just love the bright colors and have 10 more to go.

Day 296

My one goal for today was to vacuum my living room. I spent about 30 minutes picking up Lego's and the various sizes and assortments we have. Once I started vacuuming, I had a request from Andy who wanted to help out and vacuum himself. I figured if he wants to help, then why not. He did vacuum around his trampoline, but decided it was too hard to push that vacuum cleaner around.

Maybe I should find a lighter weight one that if he should so feel compelled again to help than he has his very one vacuum cleaner.

Day 180

Happy Birthday MOM!!

The beginning of my buggy barn quilt. I spent most of the meeting time tonight working my 30 fat quarters into three stacks of ten. Once I was finally done fussing and liked how my stacks went together, I cut out the pattern and then started sorting again. Once the pattern is cut out, you take the top layer of the petals off and put them on the bottom of the stack. Then you take off the top two layers of the middle to expose your third fabric. The other gals really liked how mine was turning out and I'm excited to start sewing it all back together.

I know you are all wondering how in the world I got it home. Saran Wrapped the fabric on the cutting mat and it's currently sitting on my work table ready to be unwrapped and sewn together. The sewing will have to wait until tomorrow night once the boys are asleep. This project is one where little fingers could really mess it up.

Day 177

The quilting group I am a member of is starting a new quilt project from the company Buggy Barn. The quilt I am doing is called Spring Fever and is a flower pattern. The fabric on the far left is my starting off fabric which is from the Belle collection from Amy Butler. I went over to my mother-in-laws house today to pick up my collection of fat quarters as she has been assisting me in collecting 30 fat quarters for this quilt. All the fabric needs to be washed and ironed and ready to go for Monday nights quilt meeting. I'm really excited about this project because I'm doing a quilt for me and it's girly too.
