Marathon Piecing and 3!!!

First off, Can I just say a HUGE THANK YOU for all of your sweet comments on my new Off Kilter quilt and tutorial I shared on Friday ;)  You all are the best and really made my weekend!!

So, onto the weekend.  While my husband and children participated in three different running events this weekend, and in between those events, I choose to do my own type of event, quilting style.   So I had myself a little Piecing Marathon.   Over the weekend I finished up my Hadley quilt top, started and finished the three other quilt tops shown, and got quite a ways in piecing some blocks for another new top.   Oh, how I love to piece!!!


And in the evenings, I pressed all of the bindings for those quilt tops :)   Now all I have to do is make the backings and then I can have a Quilting Marathon ;)


But the Quilting Marathon will have to wait for tomorrow, because today we are celebrating a special day for a special little lady!!!!   If there 3 can you still call them your baby girl??   My, she is growing up fast!!  Happy Birthday to my sweet Josie girl ;)


She wanted an Anna cake, but they only have Elsa cakes in the store, luckily she was happy to go with a purple frosted cake with an Anna sticker on it ;)  It's nice that they can be easily appeased at this age ;)

Have a Happy Quilting (or cake making in my case) day :)
Pin It!

  7. Happy Birthday to sweet (baby) Josie! I am glad to see you had such a productive weekend as well, I spent all weekend switching rooms... downgrading the size of my bedroom and upsizing the space for quilting! LoL The life of a quilter.

  8. As long as she is the youngest you can call her your baby forever!! :-) And I still don't know how you do so much!!! I guess when you have 5 kiddo's you learn how to run on hyper-speed!! :-D give the birthday girl a hug from me!! 3 is wonderful: they are just so excited to have something new that they aren't too particular. What a cutie pie she is!! Looking at her smile makes ME smile!! Have a great week!! Hugs!

  12. I guess you can call her what you wish, but at 3, she's hardly a baby! You're so productive! I can only get that much done if I'm at a retreat, never at home!

  13. Wow! You are amazing! Quilts and cakes! Very special to be 3! She is getting so big. So glad you were able to spend some time sewing this weekend. Hope the birthday girl had a fun day. K-

  15. Awwwww Happy Birthday Josie! I hope she had an amazing day.
    YES! You certainly can still call her a baby. I have to say that because my granddaughter will turn 3 yrs old this next February and she's still our baby. LOL
