The end result was much prettier than I thought it would be....sometimes, I just get sick of looking at something..I only have one more unfinished quilt, and it has been sitting for two years. I like it, it is just gigantic, and I know it is going to be a beast to quilt...I am not even sure if it will fit on my quilting frame...yes, it is that big....There is no way that I am trying to shove it under my regular sewing machine...I am thinking I will tackle it in April.
I also finished the paperback paper wreath...I got the idea from Jenny Matlock...She had this cute little tutorial on her blog so I had to try it....jennymatlock.blogspot.com It was a lot of cutting and a lot of hot gluing and lots of burns on my fingers...I painted the papers before I cut out leaf shapes....I like how it turned out. It also is a good GREEN project, because other than a wreath form, you just use what you have....Here it is:
Trace's first birthday party was fun...The five kids from across the street came over to celebrate too.....Here is the Birthday Boy....
and this is my daughter Lisa with her little guy....
The two babies and I...Jace is so blond and fair and Trace has dark hair and skin like mine...
Andrew and I modeling birthday hats...I love his little hands!
it was a Happy Birthday party!
