Caitlin's Quilt

I set out to make a super simple quilt for Cailtin with the leftover fabric from Eric's quilt. I guess I tried to rush too much (because I needed to get my machine in to be serviced before the movers come) and I kept making tons of mistakes. Her last name was going to be appliquéd on the bottom but the pattern on the fabric was slanted and made the lettering look crooked. So I took that off. Then I bought Minky fabric for the back and I have used it in the past with no problem. This time, I guess I didn't pin well because the fabric all bunched up and I had to remove all the quilting (28 rows) and start completely over. It is finally done but has many flaws. Hopefully she won't care or notice too much. It's a mini version of Eric's quilt.

Sunday Ride

I finally finished my year long project. I LOVE it!

Eric's Quilt

I have been so busy working on my two big quilts this past year. With them finally finished, I was ready to make Eric one for his college dorm with his school colors. He wanted me to make him a super hard one but with moving soon, I decided simple was better. So I owe him a harder one later (maybe). I had so much fabric left over that I decided to make his girlfriend a lap size one. So I'm busy making that one now. I'll do anything to avoid organizing the house to get ready for the big move!

BYU NCAA TOURNAMENT

Mario and a friend took advantage of the fact they are in Dayton while BYU plays in the tournament. They were able to score great tickets, $65 each at center court just 6 rows up. I'm so glad he decided to go.

Great Weather

We've been enjoying great weather this past week. The boys and I walked the lake this morning which was a bit sad because it was the first time without Sophie. But it was great to talk to my boys and see how they are doing with the upcoming move. I love these boys dearly. How lucky am I to have twins!

Nathan's Writing

Nathan was given this quote to use in a story that he had to write. "Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
