I got to hold my new granddaughter minutes after their arrival. The smell of a new baby is intoxicating, isn't it!

Logan seems to have grown a whole foot since seeing him last. He loves his quilt!
July is also my middle daughters birthday. It is a milestone year for her. She turns 30. Gosh, where has the time gone? As I remember it , that summer was really hot. Or was it just hot because we lived in a one bedroom apartment in NJ with no air conditioner. I couldn't wait for her to arrive. She was a preemie and showed up on the 21st. Life has never been the same since. I wanted to make her a birthday cake wall hanging but was that really going to mark 30 years? So instead I decided to make her an Owl wall hanging that just sings summer.

I am determined to get my Easy Street quilt sandwiched and quilted. I want it on my bed by the end of the month. I have pushed it aside for months, making things for others. I need to look at something new and fresh when I wake up in the morning. I have made new curtains for my room, since the celestial ones just won't do!
I was able to sew the blocks for Scrappy Trips last week. If I can finish it by August I may be able to put the Christmas lap quilt away at last. Louie likes to snuggle with me at night using that quilt. It will be nice to have a new one to share at TV time!
Still needs a border but I am closer to finishing than before...
See what everyone else has been up to here at NEWFO Linky Party
Happy Quilting

You've had an exciting month and I'm glad all turned out well! Your granddaughter is adorable! Looks like you've accomplished lots too! One of these days I'm going to start a Scrappy Trips. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Your granddaughter is cute as a button. You've been very busy with all of that. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteEasy Street was not and 'easy' quilt and bless you in completing it. We tend to forget to make things for ourselves, good for you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for getting Easy Street completed! Mine is still waiting for borders. I've ordered the backing fabric for it and found out that it was back ordered. Maybe I'll get it done before Bonnie's next mystery!
ReplyDelete"My Summer Baby" is so cute. Hope middle DD loved it. You had a pretty successful July. Congrats on the finishes. Easy Street turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your family is ok! Wowsers what an awful way to start a trip! Cute grandkids! All of your projects are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to this and came across a post added by Aileen to Pat Sloan's site about her finding bird clips at a Target. I live in Texas and so far am having a hard time finding them.
DeleteDo you still have some or did you send them all to Pat?
Thank you for your time,
Marla
