Patrick is wearing clothes and happy as a clam! He’s up to 3 lbs, 10 oz! He’s 3 weeks & 2 days old today, which would have been week 31 of Liz’s pregnancy.
Here he is with big brother Aidan. Seeing this, I have to sit down and surrender to the bigger, better meaning of life: to love and be loved in return.

Well now, this is interesting! I begged a friend to give me a copy of her pattern so that I could make this smashing reusable bag. She agreed, but only because I read every word on patterns (I like to think of it as being FOCUSED not anal retentive, thankyouverymuch!) and could act as a proofreader (a fancy title for--if I can do it, anyone can).
That said, the pattern is not yet for sale, but it’s definitely in the works! And, for those of you who are also FOCUSED, a lot of thought went into the pattern because it’s easy to read and goes together FAST! Here’s a photo of it closed and ready to travel, then a quick video of opening it. It is 16H X 14W X 7D (Niiiice!). If you are interested in the pattern, by all means, bug the crap out of Vicki! Tell her you NEED the GoGo Grocery Bag!
This is a new web show! You can take a gander at this video for more information and then hop over to The DIY Dish to comment and win a Janome sewing or embroidery machine! (and yes, embedding the video in your blog=another ticket in the hat!) What’s that you say? I would sell my mother for a ticket in the hat? Let me think about that and I’ll get back to you. . .just kidding!
Patrick is smiling! I can’t resist! The hospital said that he can wear clothes now--yeah! He's back on the oxygen but hopefully not too much longer.
This is Liz & Patrick “kangarooing”--how sweet they both look!
Oh, quilting eye candy! These are Taddle boxes—a baker’s dozen of 11-inch squares. As far as I know, they are only available at Tammy Tadd’s shop. She has all kinds but they’re only available in-store. What a shame, huh? So I purchased these 2 lovely batik boxes and I thought I’d make a version of Vicki’s quilt on black Kona.
I went to purchase some at Joann’s, but they were out. However, I did find this lovely royal purple/eggplant sateen. I hope this is okay to use ‘cause I’m smitten! If anyone knows of a reason why I shouldn’t . . . speak up!!
Supercute is looking ready for the big leagues, weighing in at a whopping 3 lb., 1 oz. He’s grasping at the pacifier--if you can imagine one about the size of a pencil eraser!
For those of you who came here looking for quilting information and not just updates on my Hallmark-movie-of-the-week life, well, I suggest you head over to Jaybird quilts where every Tuesday she lists giveaways for the week!
Another Birdie Sling bag! This time it's made with Amy Butler's "Love" fabric line. You know how it goes-once you figure out the pattern, the next one is a heck of a lot easier. This one went together much better than the first thanks toJennie, who remarked, “I think you’re sewing that on upside down” at the sew-in. Wooops! If you link to her flickr page, you’ll see the birdie sling she made out of Laura Gunn’s "Poppy" line-it’s gorgeous!
This bag is for my Aunt who will be celebrating her 71stbirthday on March 20th.
Happy Birthday Aunt Bunnie! You’re gonna be stylin’!
