Yesterday morning, I made the kindergarten teacher a bag and filled it with some serious high valued treats!
After David and I went out to lunch, we went shopping to buy me a new outfit for church. I have to speak in church on Sunday and wanted something new. Next, he and my oldest son went camping and I got busy basting, quilting and binding DH's birthday quilt :) I was pretty surprised how fast it came together. It was all quilted in about 2 hours. I hand sewed on the binding until about 11:30. I finished the rest of the binding this morning while I watched Joyful Noise with Dolly Parton and Queen Latifa. It was a cute movie.
I promptly put the quilt in the washer. My hubby and son came home and just as my hubby was falling asleep, the quilt was finished in the dryer so I tossed it on him :)
When he woke up... or I should say, when I ripped it off of him, he woke up... I took it out for a photo shoot!
PS- I am linking this post up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict WHOOP WhOOP!!
What a beautiful quilt!! I just love it and it looks like DH does, too! What great photos shots!! And then your pouch is just perfect!! I love that particular fabric! One lucky teacher and a very handsome model!
ReplyDeletethank you, Deborah! DH is very happy with the quilt. I am so glad!
DeleteThat is a WONDERFUL quilt! The Crazy Old Lady patterns are one of the few designers that make for the guys in our lives. Great colors...DH will be happy, I'm SURE!! =)
ReplyDeleteThat was funny...the 3rd bag of candy didn't fit...so, you ate the candy, LOL =P

Thank you, Annie! I fell in love straight way with Emily's pattern. I can't wait to get her new book!
Deleteyes, and I am still trying to repent from eating that bag of chocolate with my son! When will I learn....
It came out great Marion! On the first picture where the quilt is standing over the bridge I kept looking at it waiting when is it going to fall in the water? :) Guess it didn't! Great job!
ReplyDeleteKati, you are so sweet! My daughter was holding the quilt and was worried the whole time. I wasn't worried. My daughter knows that dropping the quilt in the creek is punishable by death ;D
DeleteOh and forgot about the Kate Spain zipper pouch. I would be happy to receive anything made of that fabric. Nice present! :)
ReplyDelete...if my son's teacher doesn't love it, I'll steal it back and mail it too you :)
DeleteLOL! Why do I feel like I have no chance? :)
DeleteOK, Kati, she loves it :) But we could do a swap :) I'd be happy to make you one!
DeleteWow that quilt turned out so great! I love it! Tell him Happy Birthday from us, K?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Myra! I told him your well wishes and he said, "Thanks!"
DeleteLooks wonderful and you made it in record time! Good for you! You deserve to relax and enjoy your Mother's Day!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary! It feels so good to get things done! :)
DeleteI'm married to a former pro surfer......I've got to make this, I love it! Love the Going Coastal fabric you used, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kris! I bet he'd love it! The designer of Going Coastal has a new line coming out this week at market. In her own words, the two lines will go well together. It has lobsters!!!! ....and flamingos!
DeletePictures like the one with your husband make the work all worth it. I love the bag you made and the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shankevia! It does make me so happy when even my big boy loves the quilt I made him!
DeleteOh, it's a very cool quilt! I bet DH thinks so, too! Whoop whoop!!
