Gifts, Quilt Alongs, and Babies

Last year after the H2H Challenge was done and the gifts were being sent out somehow mine got lost. I had won a years worth of magazines from Generation Q Magazine. Sarah over Confessions of a Fabric Addict felt bad and sent me these great treats. Thank you Sarah. Then within a few weeks I received my magazines. 

I am a bit slow on getting the steps done but I did get all of the pieces cut for my quilt that I am making following Melissa's Quilt Along over at Happy Quilting. I have all of the 320 triangles sewn onto the brown rectangles. This week I will focus on getting that next step done which is to cut them into squares.

I thought you might like a picture of my next granddaughter. This is Lillian or Lilly for short. She is about 5 months old and sucks on her fingers and not on a pacifier. Oh boy! HA HA

A New Year!!

So much time has gone by. I have gone through my first semester of college. I aced both classes. My second semester starts tomorrow and goes until April. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I will be taking a math class and it has been years since I had to do any serious math. I have not been able to sew much with all of the homework. I am going to make time this semester, I miss sewing. I did sew one quilt. I made a quilt for the fire department that my dad used to volunteer for. I made a rail fence in shades of brown. So I named it "Dirty Fence". It will be used as a raffle quilt. I will not know until about July how much this quilt raises for them. I'm excited!

My second grand daughter was born September 5th of last year. She is so sweet!! They named her Lillian. We are so happy to have her in our family. 

 Here I am holder her right after she was born.

Here she is with her daddy, my son, and her big sister, Abby.

Here she is about a month ago. I know she looks like she is cross-eyed, she is not. HA HA She is just focusing on my shirt. 

I hope that everybody had a great Christmas and I hope that everybody's New Year is fabulous!!
