Grandmother's Garden progress

Remember this? I'm pleased to report that it has grown considerably, and now measures about 53 inches by 61 inches,about 135cm by 154cm.
I still have a fair bit of sewing to get it to a queen sized quilt, but it feels achievable! It became the perfect project to do when I felt my creativity waning, as I could sit down and baste a handful of hexies if I only wanted to do a little stitching, or sew together a bunch of hexie flowers if I had more time (and motivation). The more it grows, the more I want to work on it, too.

First Day of School

Ollie is attending school for the first time today. Wow, where did that time go??


Last night I decided he needed a little mama-made bag tag so he could easily distinguish his bag from all the others. This little mini quilt seemed like just the thing for my dog-obsessed boy!
