Busy Little Bee

I really wanted to post some pics tonight but the computer I need for that is occupied by a teenager.  I had a very successful shopping trip yesterday.  I had to run to Omaha to get some airplane parts for the hubs and decided to make a day out of it.  Liam wasn't too impressed but we managed to stop at Country Sampler, The Quilted Moose and of course JoAnn's.  I ONLY purchased 24 yards of fabric, one charm pack and one book.

Today I added the last border to the log cabin quilt and pieced the back - it's off to the quilter tomorrow.  I made one complete quilt along block (woo hoo I now have a total of 4 done).  I did manage to start 5 others though, they just need pieced together.  Tonight I ironed for 30 minutes straight on some blue strips that I'll show you next time (stay tuned for another great and easy scrap buster).  My house is a disaster and I have company coming tomorrow - I'm hoping that since she's my bestie she'll understand that quilting comes before cleaning!

Do you remember the last post when I had that picture of Liam in his underwear?  Well I was outside today trying to take a picture of the Log Cabin quilt hanging from the fence.  He had just gotten done swimming and was running around naked (we're potty training and naked is the only way that has worked so far).  He came outside with an umbrella of all things, and wanted to pose - completely naked with an umbrella - in the picture of my quilt!  I talked him out of it but as he walked away I was able to snap a picture of an umbrella and a baby butt!  I would love to share but I think there are laws against that

I hate to post without pics soo. . .


This is a pic from last years trip to Vail, Co.  We go every year so Bill can do the annual inspection on an airplane owned by a friend.  They have a beautiful log cabin home and a bunkhouse over the garage (where we stay).  This stream runs behind the house and is the kids' favorite attraction.  We're headed there this weekend and while we're gone I plan to fix the binding on Aaron's graduation quilt - I must quilt everywhere I go!

Until next time!
