Projects

Here is a new project I am going to start. Yesterday I went with my mom and SIL, Becky to a super cute quilt store called Material Girls in South Jordan. I saw the cutest table runner made out of these fabrics. Well the one made up was a kit they sold, but they were all sold out!! Don't you hate that? So I used the same fabrics and found a pattern for a similar table runner (well, kind of). There will be more to this, but first I've got to cut these (right now they're just folded so I can see what the little blocks would look like). But aren't the colors so fun? (This line is called Swell by Moda fabrics in case you wanted to know.) I can't wait for spring! Yesterday was so nice and warm here (prob around 50 degrees). Bring on the sun!!

So I promised that I would soon post pics of the Valentine's project I was working on, so here they are. This is the wall hanging I'm making for my MIL. I have just basted it, now I'm going to quilt it. My mom (the best quilting teacher ever!) taught me to hand quilt, so I will quilt the vase, flowers, and hearts inside the red border. Then when I'm finished (I've already done up to that point on mine) I will machine quilt the red border and the squares on the outside edge. Mine is very similar to this one, I just used more of the little squares that say things. Next year I'll have something cute to hang up! I'm hoping to have this one finished in a week...we'll see! That's when my MIL will be here next.

Onto another subject, don't you just love David Archuleta on AI? He is such a cute kid and man does he have a voice!! LOVED his song last night.
