Preschool!!

-
My little guy headed off to his first day of preschool yesterday!  He's in the afternoon session, so I worked from home in the morning so I could see him off on the bus.  I wasn't quite sure how it would go.  The very first thing he said when he woke up was "I'm not so sure about that bus".  But when the time came, he was quite excited. 



He loves the backpack.  It's actually a hand-me-down, but he was thrilled to have one, just like "all the big kids!" 


It's the "short bus" that picks up the preschool kids mid-day, and we know the driver well.  He's a great guy, and there is an additional chaperone for them as well. 


This one below was right about the second when he realized that I wasn't getting on the bus with him.  He was NOT happy about that development, even though I'd told him many times.  So there were tears as he rode away, but he arrived home happy, so I'm guessing it all worked out!


He rides the "big bus" home, with his sister and cousins.  Isadora was apparently quite diligent and anxious in making sure she got him picked up from the bus line and onto the bus, which makes me happy.

    That sounds great! These pictures from his first day are really nice. My kid was little nervous on his first day of Phoenix preschool but he came back quite happy from class. He made so many new friends on very first day.

Pinwheel Charity Quilt - FINISHED!

The amazing Jo at Jo's Country Junction  does a ton of wonderful work doing long-arm for charity quilts.  After my friend, Natalie, and I purchased our long-arm, we both wanted to help do charity work, so I reached out to Jo to see if she needed some assistance.  She sent along five quilt tops, along with backings and bindings, and Natalie and I got to work! This first finish is a wonderful, happy, bright pinwheel quilt, made by Sharon Judkins of Hatfield, Arkansas.   (And special thanks to my 11 year old for photographing - she's working on photography for her 4-H projects, and wanted to help out in her own way!) Natalie did the long-arm work on this one.  Each pinwheel got it's own spiral, and there are spirals in all the sashing and borders.  Natalie made sure to get a pinwheel in cornerstone, as well. It was bound in a lovely blue, with the ladies in our local quilt guild stepping up to do the actual binding work.  This one will be donated to Feed the

Another year of Quarantine

The vaccine is rolling, out, but OH SO SLOWLY.  And I'm about dead last on our priority list (as it probably should be - no complaints!) so I just need to keep on going.  I've felt the need for some slow stitching recently, which has done good things for the progress on a lot of old cross stitch UFO's.  I finished the Band Sampler that I did as a round robin a while ago.  It's beautiful, but with Mary Ellen gone I'll have to spend a LOT more than I used to to get it framed!   I've also completed "A Little Quakeresque" sampler - such a lovely project!  And my "12 Days of Christmas" piece is done as well, although I did have to order more floss.  I think it might end up as a pillow cover?  I can't think of a place to hang in during the holidays.    My piecing list is actually pretty under control for a change.  I decided to join in on a quilt along for "All the Good" and I absolutely LOVE how it's turned out.  It was part of a

Kate Spain Charm Swap Finish!

Quite a while ago, I participated in a Kate Spain Charm Swap over at Quilts from my Crayon Box .  I just loved the assortment I got back!  So colorful and bright, and so cheery to just have in a stack and pet.  But I decided to actually use them all.  I wanted a pattern that would really show off the variety of fabrics, and this one from Moda Bake Shop seemed to be a great fit.  I enlarged it to use up all the charms.  It's almost a complete charm quilt - I had to add in just a few duplicates to make enough squares.  I absolutely love the final result! The fabrics have such great variety I didn't really have to consciously do any fabric placement - they all looked good together! I used one of my favorites from terrain for the cornerstones and binding.  The quilter did a great job - outlined the stars and added a small flower to the center of each, with a moderately tight stipple throughout the rest.  I'm completely torn on what to do
