Four Month Catch Up!

Where does the time go?  My last post was in January!  I have not been sewing as much as usual, but I have been sewing.  

It took me until April, but I got the flimsy finished for Old Town.

Old Town 2024

Finally did a little baking with Indigo.  We forgot to put her apron on.  We have passed Hazel's apron on to her and I found a cute apron (and hat) on Etsy for Hazel since she is too tall for her old one!

I finally found a local longarmer and took three of my quilts to her.  She got the first two smaller ones done quickly.  Her name is Lora and is has a fabulous studio and is super talented!  She designed I love you hands to put on this quilt for Kelsey and Tony's baby boy (baby shower in ten ish days).  I hope she loves it.  Kelsey is also a sign language interpreter so hopefully this is extra special to her.

                       
Lora also quilted my wall hanging for my sewing room.  I had her put sewing stuff on it and it turned out so cool!  i have it rigged up on the closet with velcro and I hope it holds!

My sewing machine faces this way so now I have something pretty to look at!  When I look to the left I can see through the door of the room and since there is a half wall where the stairs are, I can see through the stair area, dining area, and in through the living room out the front window of the house.  Love that since I really miss sewing in the living room in the Milwaukee house!

For Easter we just did a small brunch over at Hannah and Jeremy's.  We did not even get organized enough to see if Jay was available.  Fail!  The kids really enjoyed coloring eggs with this cool spinner.

                                                    
Hazel had us take eggs home.  I watched her for a few hours on Monday and she brough the spinner and colored all the hard boiled eggs in my fridge too!  We started doing some science experiments with her (bought a kit) and she loves it.  

Barb and I also worked on two consecutive civil war mini quiltalongs.  One was Kathleen Tracy's Civil War Mini Quilt Sew Along 2025.  

The other one was Kim Diehl's Midnight Snack.

I also finally finished the New Year's Mystery Quilt that Debi Montgomery did.  I did not like all the white space in the center of her mystery quilt so Barb (via camera) and I figured out a different layout using the blocks I had done and making a few more.  I wound up with this small quilt and pillow topper.  Likely to be donated somewhere along the way.  

The last mystery from New Years was the Stitchin Heaven one.  Since I had it all cut out I decided to put together a block of each to see if I liked it.  Not too bad, I may go ahead and finish it.  My sister in law loves Halloween so this one is intended for her one day.  

I think that catches us up to present.  I will redouble my efforts to blog my timely!  I hate having to try to remember back four months and get the pictures in order!
