Not enough time!

To say I've been busy lately is an understatement!

I just arrived back from visiting family in Florida and Utah for three weeks, and my daughter and her two little children drove to California to visit us 2 days later.

What a wonderful time we've been having together!

We saw the sights in San Francisco :)

Saturday, my husband was scribe for 5 year old Maisie as she told him what she wanted to do for the day.

We completed everything on her checklist!

I was making the "dwell" quilt by Camille Roskelley, before all my travels and adventures.

I laid the blocks on the floor and took a black and white photo to make sure the contrast in the colors was pleasing to the eye.

I think it looks pretty good.

These are the blocks in living color!

There is sashing between all the blocks, and I added 9 extra blocks to the quilt.

I'm also working on a quilt from the magazine Love Patchwork and Quilting.

I thought it was a pretty simple pattern, but the cutting was so time consuming!

I love the low volume prints, especially the text ones :)
I really think they add a lot of interest.

I just have to sew the rows together, and will machine quilt a radiating circular pattern.

It will be my first time, but I bought one of Jacquie Gehring's Craftsy classes on machine quilting with your walking foot.

It was well worth the money, I highly recommend her classes!

Hopefully I can show you my completed "Dwell" quilt next week.

Wish me luck, I'll be sewing like one of Santa's busy elves!
