Things will be a little quiet here at the manor. We are off for a family trip to see family. Much love.
I finished it this morning. It measures 46x69. A nice lap size
After talking to my friend Krista and bouncing ideas off of her I decided to do a vine- leafy free motion quilting starting from the bottom and going up.
I finished binding it this morning with coffee and watching my shows on DVR. I used the same green in the quilt for the binding.
Close up of the quilting- Hope you enjoy your week.
Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.
Proverbs 16:3
Avery Rose is fifteen. And she still won't smile when I ask.
This one was a little better.
She had her girlfriends over, they swam, they laughed, they played with their little machines and they ate.
And I think they had a good time.
I got the inch to quilt again. Probably needed some therapy after realizing I have two teenage daughters now. I pulled out my Whimsy owl fabric, went shopping in my stash and went for some improv blocks.
Jack sat next to the sewing machine, my little kitty dog and let me know how I was doing. LOVE this dog.
At the end of the day all sandwiched up and ready to quilt and bind, maybe I will get to that today:)
Today was my last day of work for the school year. I'll go back end of July. We are going to Monterey and see family and play in the ocean.
We are going to love on our family
Meet a new family member to us and love on our sister.
Hang out with cousins and watch awesome sunrises with a cup of coffee.
See my sisters and their families and go to the lake and 6 flags
Love on my mommy and daddy and spend some quality time together.
And these girls that grew up together from birth get to hang out together again as our old neighbors come to ABQ to visit us. I can't wait for it all. Soooooo excited.
Let Summer Begin!!!!!!!
Avery striking a pose. Not sure what it is about "mom jean shorts" but they seem to be "in" I remember being a teen and have a hard time believing both my girls are teens. It was a lot easier to be their mom when they were pre schoolers. I got to dress them then too.
Riley has stopped gymnastics and is now on the to the next thing - violin. She is self taught and is enjoying playing. I love my girls- our girls and I thank God for my job as mom to them.
Last week, we got to honor our youngest with a assembly. She has been a straight A's student all year. So above is Riley walking up to get her certificate and bumper sticker for mom's car. I remember when Avery first did this in 6th grade. I said to her "I don't want anything from you but a bumper sticker" It takes a lot of work to get one and we are so proud of both our girls. Below is Riley with one of her buddies.
