Recap for part of July - LOTS of pictures

I just can't seem to get back in the blogging habit. Maybe I will get points for lots of pictures in a post and that will make up for lack of consistent posting. Maybe.

Jodi at Pleasant Home had a drawing for goodies she collected on a trip she took oh wayyyyyy back in June I suppose. I won the drawing and here is what she sent to me.

There is a bottle of Oregon water (dubbed as VIRGIN water that has never been touched by the earth...hmmmm), assorted candies that I DID NOT SHARE!, a cute little sewing kit from the Venetian (in Las Vegas) and a charm pack of Bliss! I have already made something with those (sometime in August) so I will show that to you eventually. Actually it isn't even finished yet but hopefully soon.

This is Alena's quilt, made with Moda's Snippets. I used the tutorial for the Charm Pack Baby Quilt by BubbaChic. The back was white flannel.


I found some Mingle yellow with white dot at the local craft store that I used for the binding. I wasn't sure of it for the longest time but when all was washed and dried I decided that I loved it.

Christian's Charming Baby Log Cabin quilt. Pattern by Threaded Pear. I decided not to add the borders or the prairie points. I actually made the top for this quite awhile ago but just finished it up in early July to give to the new baby.


I did some loop-de-loop and star quilting on this. Not THRILLED with it as it was my first time but it was 'okay'.


The backing is a very soft navy flannel.


I love a striped binding. Maybe even more than a dotted binding.


Christian's father called after church to tell me that they loved the quilt and had hung it up on the wall over the baby's crib! Oh my. I told him I would've have been thrilled if they threw it on the floor and let the baby lay on it there. I just want the quilts to get used and loved.

Praise - all of our summer travels were safe! So many miles covered by all four of us in a few months. For College Boy's involvement with Campus Crusade for Christ as well as InterVarsity. He is the new bass player for InterVarsity worship!

Prayers - For College Girls travels back from visiting her brother for the weekend. Continued prayers for College Boy, that he connect with some Godly young men that have similar interests (biking, hiking, fishing).
