It has been a very busy week around here. Leah turned 13 on Friday!! That makes teen daughter #3! When I think back to when the girls were really little, I couldn’t really imagine what life would be like when they were teens. Now it’s here and I can hardly believe it. Life is fun and there’s never a dull moment, that is for sure.

Saturday we hosted a family reunion which was very fun. Yesterday I finished typing up the Quilter’s World project and this morning I shipped it! Now I’m tying up loose ends and getting phone calls and emails out of the way.

On Sunday I treated myself to a morning of sewing for pleasure and I finished piecing the love notes quilt.

This one is for Amanda and it served as my ‘therapy’ quilt while she was away in Paris in April. I got the rows all joined but it needs some major borders to get to an acceptable size. I will do an inner border of 3″ in Kona white and then a larger 8″ border in the aqua Paris Kiss Kiss fabric. Amanda chose the aqua over the pink and I think it will be pretty. I ordered the yardage from Fat Quarter Shop this morning. I ordered enough for borders, binding and backing.

The white Kona I’ll have to get at Joann’s because I couldn’t match up the whites on Fat Quarter Shop. I originally got the white at Jo’s so I’ll go back this week.

My next work projects will be a few more mug rug patterns for Craftsy and some magazine designing for upcoming submission deadlines.
What are you all working on?
