Works in Progress - Charming Baby Remix's

So remember how I shared I am making here, here, and here . . . Well today I am excited to share some more progress.  I have 5 Quilt Tops Done, 3 Quilts with the blocks all made, and 2 More being cut and pieced.   So today, I thought it would be fun to share the Charming Baby Quilts Remixes Blocks that are all made ;)



 To The Moon - Remix
First Up . . . The To the Moon blocks.   There are 35 of these all pieced and I just love the Soft Blue Speckled Background!!!  It really makes Alexia Abegg's not yet released, Golden Hour Charm Packs just shine.  I can't wait to get this one all sewn together and see how "grown up" it is going to be :)   



On The Move - Remix

And next up, you remember how I was using some Kona Rainbow Charm Packs for some colorful rainbow goodness. . . well here are just a few of the colors in the rainbow all On The Move!!!   Seriously, I just need to get these sewn up into rows like yesterday because I can't wait to see it all in rainbow order ;)     



And finally, my super sized,  Twinkle Twinkle blocks!!!  And can I just say, I am so super thrilled with how these have come together ;)   I just love the large size, and how perfect is this fabric!!!!  I just love the Grey Apricot and Ash Panel centers and the Grey Small Plus  for the Star Points.   They are just so great!!!   And the Apricot and Ash Layer Cakes are making such a fun background.   Seriously, another that has to be sewing together fast, and with only 8 (very long) seams to do just that, I am sure it won't be long before I share this finish!!! 



So that is a little of what I have been working on in the last few weeks!!!  And I was all excited for some soon to be un-interrupted sewing time when the kids were supposed to be going back to school in 2 weeks, but ya . . . school start just got delayed today.  So now we all get to enjoy one more month of Summer!!!   Here's hoping we all make it, tee hee hee!!!


I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!

Jolly Bar Row Along!!

So remember back here when I said I was going to do the Jolly Bar Row Along???  Well, it's started and is well under way and I just realized, I was a little behind.  So I sad down and started making blocks. 




I started with the Sparrow Blocks.   So cute!!!

 

Followed by the Arrow Blocks.  These only took a minute to make ;)  



And the Hear blocks followed soon after that.  I just love how fun and fast these blocks are!!  



And I just couldn't stop, so I moved on to the Butterfly blocks.  


And finished up with the Arrow blocks.   Wow, what a fun afternoon of sewing!!!


So now all my blocks are made, and I am ahead.  Maybe I will have the quilt top put together by the end of the Row Along ;)   So fun!!!
There is still lots of time to join in, because just like me, you can catch up super fast as these blocks are just a breeze to make and so much fun!!!  You will need the Jolly Bar Book, Volume 2,and 1 Jolly Bar and some background fabric and you are ready to go!!!!


And this is my planned layout, you know I always have to change things up a bit ;)   I am using Winifred Rose by Christopher Thompson for Riley Blake Designs and I just have to sew up the rows now.   Should have this done very soon :) 


I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!   I know I plan to sew and sew and hopefully sew some more ;)

New Family Pics

No quilts today.  Today I am getting a little more personal and talking  :)  This weekend we took a quick trip up to Salt Lake to see my side of the family.  My little sister was in town from WA, and it was the first time we have all been together in like 7 years!!!  So of course, we needed some family pictures ;)  Saturday morning we met at the park and my sister took pictures for 2 hours and did an amazing job!!!    This is my family :)   My parents, siblings, their spouses and children.   There are 32 of us all together and I can't begin to express how wonderful it was to get see them all!!!



These are my parents.  Aren't they just so cute!!!  I am so grateful to them and love getting to visit them.  My dad is always there for me and my mom is the first one I call with questions of life, big or small.   I love them!!!


And can you believe my sweetheart, Jacob and I are going on 20 years of Marriage.   We celebrate our 20th anniversary this year and words can not even begin to express how grateful I am to him and how much I love him. 


And how my family has grown!!!   When I first started this blog I only had 4 kids and they were all little.  In fact, I just barely realized the other day my profile still said, mom of 5 "little" kiddos.  I edited it realizing they are not my "little" kiddo's anymore.   We are just soaking up as much family time as we can as I know they will soon be leaving for adventures of their own.   Isn't family just the best!!!  I just love these amazing children of ours and am so proud of each one and the person they are becoming. 


What a blessing it was to have such a wonderful weekend spent with family.  It is always so wonderful to have the opportunity to reflect on how important family is and the love that we share!!!  

I hope you all have a very blessed day and are able to share it with the ones you love ;)
