We are all making quilt blocks for each other's quilts in the Urban Quilters League. Marie had some extra fabric from a set that was given to her and wanted to make use of them. This is my first block with that fabric. I just made the design up, but I'm sure it already exists and has some sort of name. It was definitely a learning experience. I haven't done piecework in a long time. I think it turned out okay. I hope Marie likes it, because that's what matters. I am going to make the second block look more modern. I'm going to do the second block after I start my new class at City Quilter!! I'm taking Intermediate Patchwork and I'll be able to branch out from what I can do now. How exciting!

"quilt"
My sweet little daughter said "quilt" today for the first time!!
I was so excited, I couldn't believe it! She has a little quilt that is always in her bed - the perfect little baby size (and in fact it's almost too small for her). She asks me to wrap her up before naps & bedtime, and today she said so sweetly, "quilt."
On a similar note...
Yesterday Jeff had her in the morning while I went grocery shopping. When I got home, he was telling me about all of their accomplishments & how hard they had worked while I was out. She totally busted him & said "golf." I gave him a hard time about it, but when she woke up from her nap, I got busted too. She walked in and said "sewing." Jeff's like, "Aha, how would she know 'sewing'?" Oh well.

Camera case
After being sassed so badly about passing up a camera case at Circuit City, I decided to make one. I sketched out a pattern at work (It was Sunday!) and made it when I got home. I think it turned out pretty cute. I still need to cover some of the seams inside. I think it's great for a free case, and much much cuter than those ugly mini-backpacks they call "camera cases."
