I can't believe another 3 weeks have flown by. I have had a lot of activities the past three weeks.
I finished my project for the Time in a Bottle Blog Hop that posted on Friday this week. You can see the post here.
I also made the gnomes in my header with socks I found at Target.
This week my grandson Jaeger has been home for college, and left Saturday evening. We had several family dinners. He is such a wonderful young man. I had to get a picture before he left on Saturday, especially with my hair recently done and looking better than I can do it!
This week I have also been working on my brother and SIL's lighthouse quilt. I finished the two weeks I was working on last week, and I also did four more. I have laid it out on the floor so I can figure out what else I am going to do.
I have the Accuquilt Storm at Sea die, and those will used somewhere. I need to figure out what filler blocks I going to use too.
This week was also quilt guild meeting. Sue, one of the members of my mini quilt group put our house blocks together last week. Nancy, one of the other members is going to quilt it in time for our quilt show in April. My blocks are the Victorian house, the hen coop, and the lighthouse.

doesn't it seem weird when our grandchildren tower over us! I'm not that short at 5'7" but my granddaughter is 5'10" and I feel like a shrimp next to her!!
ReplyDeleteJaeger is so tall! Glad you got lots of grandkid time while he was home from college. Love your lighthouse blocks. Maybe some sea creatures or shells, sand dollars, starfish for some blocks? Enjoy your slow stitching. Oh - your gnomes are adorable.
