Family happenings...

What a roller coaster ride September has been... A report on Grandpa: he is home now resting and recovering in his own house. Yay!

A couple weekends ago I attended the bridal shower of my Sister-in-law to be. I have been slaving away on a quilt for her for the last few months. It is still not finished but I did have it done enough to present it to her at the shower, then bashfully take it back to finish it. It is called Deep Blue Sea and was designed by Natalia Bonner of Piece N Quilt and is available as a free tutorial on the Moda Bake Shop.

This is a picture of me with my Cousin Ashley. It seems like yesterday that I was changing her diapers, now we share glasses of champagne. Boy do I feel old!

4:30 am I think I have a problem...

It is 4:30 am. The husband left at 4 am to go fishing and I can't sleep because I have to finish this monster by next weekend. This is Deep Blue Sea for Betsey and Jared. My brother is getting married October 9th to a wonderful girl named Betsey. Her bridal shower is next Sunday and I am having a panic attack that I will not be able to finish this in time.... So here I am at 4:30 am adding the final borders and attempting to get this basted so I can quilt it all this week.

The pattern can be found on Moda Bakeshop and was designed by Natalia Bonner of Piece N Quilt fame. By the time I started this monster I could no longer get most of the fabric Nautical and Nice. So after finding the panel and some coordinating fabrics I think it works. It has been a while since I attempted such a large quilt. I am already dreading the quilting process...
