It seems everyone is doing a Disappearing 9 Patch these days so I thought I'd jump in too. I tried one once with lots of different fabrics and it was too scrappy for me. This time I picked my 3 favorite fabrics from Wiscasset. I really like it. Of course it is my favorite color combination.
I have really had time to sew! These are 1-1/2 inch squares set in 14 rows of 10. I'm going to consider making it just 12 rows, I'll sleep on it and see what I think in the morning. I'll probably do a 1 inch border in ivory and bind it in red. I'm thinking some free motion swirls for quilting.
When I saw this Brown Bear fabric I just had to make a quilted wall hanging for my friend's Kindergarten Readiness classroom.
My dear husband painted our son's bedroom and pulled out the ancient carpet. Now I have an awesome sewing room with a hardwood floor. I'll be making some mini quilts to decorate the walls. I am so grateful!
On Saturday our son married his best friend : ) It was a beautiful, God-honoring ceremony and the kids were simply beaming! My husband performed the wedding and managed to hold it together.
We went to see Phoebe's puppies last night. They are 4.5 weeks old. She has 8 puppies and there are 4 more from another litter. They are so cute. Wish we could get one but they are all spoken for. Phoebe will come back to us in about 2 weeks, after our son's wedding.
