Stockings for Kids

I'm not sure where I saw it first, but as soon as I saw Purple Panda Quilts' request for individuals to make stockings for kids in foster care situations, I knew I had to make one...or two. I knew I could do it since I made stockings for us last year. It was just a matter of buying some appropriate fabric and getting to work.


I sure hope these stockings can help brighten the holidays for a couple kids who deserve a smile or two!

End of Summer, Early Fall

Somehow, summer has come and gone and we are now left with leaves changing color, cooler temperature, and two little munchkins with birthdays fast approaching. We logged a lot of miles at the end of August with a trip to Petty Creek, Gig Harbor, and Bend. We saw all the grandparents, some aunts and uncles, Flathead Lake, the Missoula County Fair, stayed in a hotel with a POOL, went to the zoo, played in another pool (Juniper Rec Center in Bend - Awesome!) with a water slide, and drove, and drove, and drove, and drove some more.

We are waiting for more leaves to fall so Clare can rake them into a big pile for more jumping fun! Maybe Finn will slow down long enough for me to get a non-blurry picture of him. Maybe.

Finished Quilt - "New Addition"

 Yes, a finished quilt is going to the post office today or tomorrow. I am really loving how all the colors and the quilting came together so nicely on this one. Piecing took the most time, layout took the most brainpower, and the rest was relatively easy!
