The kids home from school this week, so that means this momma has been very busy with Shrinky Dinks, Bottle Caps and countless of other kid craft and activities. I have to admit I had a blast doing the Shrinky Dinks. I haven't done those in years! Sadly my oven doesn't have a "window" so the kids really didn't get the full effect, but they were still in awe when they came out much smaller.
Have no fear though, I have gotten a little me time in. The baby does have to nap and the older two value there lives and know better than to bug me to much with nonsense. Also, I have been bargaining in leftover Christmas cookies and candy canes. :)
Which means I have finally had a little time to finished my scrappy quilt...well the top, anyways. Do you like? I love it!
Once the kids are back in school I'll pick up the filler, the backing, and then I can start quilting it. No need to bring all three kids to the fabric store if I don't have to. There isn't enough cookies or candy canes in the world to make that worth it.
I have also pieced more of the Miniature HST's. I just love these things! Seriously, these bad boys are addicting.
When I told my husband he just laughed and asked "does that mean you won't be making any more flowers?" Sorry babe, better luck next time.
I love that quilt top. At first I didn't even recognize it as a kaleidescope block. I love the scrappy look and the white corners and sashing. I want to make one for me now. :)

ReplyDeleteThe scrap quilt is amazing! Love it. I really need to do something like that.
ReplyDeleteOh, kids and fabric stores. Oil and water. Sadly, I don't usually have much of a choice. I think the ladies at my LQS cringe when they see us coming. : )
