Gift for Mrs. Fields

This is our goodbye/thank you gift for Georgia's teacher.  For the center, I printed a worksheet and Georgia traced the letters with a fabric marker.

Work in Progress

I am working on a quilt for our bed and I have one side of it done.  I have plans to make another top for the back of the quilt so we can have 2 quilts in 1!  We will see if that actually happens. 

I am happy with this quilt so far, a modified version of this quilt.  I do still need to trim some length off of the sides, but besides that, the top is pretty much finished.

In addition to a linen/rayon blend from Joann, I used a jelly roll of Amy Butler's very beautiful Love fabric.

Funny coincindence: I chose the fabric scheme after doing some online research, THEN realized that the quilt would coordinate perfectly with the decorative pillow (that, unfortunately, you cannot see in these photos) that Stacy made me for Christmas!  Guess it was meant to be.

Thanks to Stacy for sharing the pattern from the Moda Bake Shop with me.  I wouldn't have found it on my own since prior to making this quilt, I did not regularly look at that site.  

Cinderella Tea + Play

This weekend, Georgia and I spent Saturday afternoon with Tante and Grandma.  We attended a very special Cinderella Tea Party followed by a production of the Cinderella musical at a local high school.  It was a very sweet event.  Georgia was so excited and had a wonderful time.  She ate lots of yummy sweets, made a friend at our table, won a door prize/raffle of sorts ("I won!  I won!" - an acrylic "glass" slipper decoration) and loved the play.  It was a great afternoon, all orchestrated by Tante, and a wonderful way to spend Mothers Day together.  Unfortunately, Aunt Kathy and Nana weren't able to come due to prior commitments but we will celebrate with them another time. 

Thanks again to Tante, for arranging a great day.  I think Georgia will remember it fondly.

Posing for her public...

Sorry for the lack of posts.  We've misplaced our camera.  This was from a cell phone so not the best quality.  But funny.
