Motherhood is a Gift...

at my house...

the air is full of imagination and pretend play.

the laughter is welcoming and loud and often in need of escaping for just a moment.

these 2 little children find space to play together.

one doing boy pretend and the other doing girl pretend.

i can't begin to share with you how many times i have heard about princesses and dragons, batman and spiderman, dog kids, and much more. 

it is endless.

the process pledge...

i do enjoy reading this magazine...

this magazine has a primitive feel about it. 

and i tend to be a little more modern with color choices.... this is the magazine that i like to go to and rethink the color design to give my own modern feel.

so i picked this project...

and here is my fabric and wool...

i will keep you posted on the progress.

the process pledge...

i have had this cute little ruler for awhile.

i purchased this ruler at a cute little quilt shop in PA last summer. 

i have been dreaming of a project.

so i purchased this fabric for my hatchet ruler...

here is the ruler pattern close up...

by the way... we will be working with this fun little Hatchet Ruler at FREE SEW day in June... are you signed up?

A little needle turning...

i have been needle turning up a storm around here.

so much that my finger started to bleed and i decided that i must use a thimble.

so i have went through 3 thimbles... hunting for the perfect one for me... any suggestions?

i finished up Geese in the Rose Garden Block 3...

 

check out the flickr group on this... HERE!

check out the author of the book... HERE!  Dawn Heese is FANTASTIC!  the book is called Geese in the Rose Garden.

and i finished up the Block One for Baltimore Stitches... a BOM program we are doing at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop... this took me awhile... the wreath gave me a struggle... but i am moving on to block 2 and not looking back...

i am having fun with this... i do love needle turning!
