Blog Stew!

You get a little of everything if you read through this catch-up blog post.  Wow, it's been a while.

Sewing first:
I finished block five of the FQM Mystery BOM:


A great design by Carrie Nelson that was fun to put together.

And Miss Audrey's mermaid costume is ready to try on (don't look Kara - if you want to be surprised)!
That's her headband with starfish laying on top of the shirt.  I can't wait for Audrey to try it on.

And....

We're grandparents again!!
Mr. Lake Pulaski's daughter, Rachel had a baby boy on Friday!!
 

Patrick Jeffrey

I was so excited to meet Patrick that I forgot to get a photo with his new quilt...oopps.

Had to stop and get kisses and hugs from Audrey after we met Patrick:
Audrey and her beautiful Mom
