Jelly Roll Quilt Along #4

Block #4

Heading to Paducah!

Well, I am leaving tomorrow with my friend Barbara to go to Paducah, KY to the AQS (American Quilters Society) Quilt Show!  I am so excited. I went a long time ago with Barbara and some other friends and my mom.  I’m excited to be going back and will take LOTS of pictures this year to post on here. 

Jelly Roll Quilt a Long Block #3

Here is my third block in the Jelly Roll Quilt a Long by Moose on the Porch. The Jelly Roll I used is called La’mour by Moda. I am happy with how it turned out! This has been such a fun project. I created a label for Jelly Roll Quilt so that you can click on the label to see all of them that I have complete.

Downy Quilts for Kids are Done!

We finally got our Downy Kids Quilts done and shipped.  My mom asked me about this, she wasn’t sure what we were doing.  Here is the information about it, Quilts for Kids.  We ordered the kits and we each got something different, all the same pattern.  Everything was precut and so quick to sew together.  Here is Barbara’s quilt.  She had a girl ballerina material quilt.  Barbara quilted it herself and did loopy loops.

Here is the one I got, big trucks with a green striped backing.  You can see the quilting I did on it, I also did the loopy loops.  They are a lot of fun.

Here is Paula’s quilt, not sure how well you can see, but it’s bright colored dinosaurs.  I quilted it for her.  I guess you could say this was my first “customer” quilt, but I will tell you it made me really nervous.  It’s one thing to do a quilt for yourself.  On my quilt my loopy loops were really good, on Paula’s I was nervous and I quilted over some of my loops, which then got me all frustrated and nervous.  I am sure glad it was a donation quilt.  But if I hadn’t done it for her, she would have had a hard time getting it quilted and I bet she would have had a hard time trying to quilt it on her regular machine, I don’t think she has done a lot of that.  Anyway, I think she was happy with it.  They are all done and shipped, so that makes me happy and hopefully, there will be a child somewhere that enjoys these quilts. 

Jelly Roll Quilt a Long Block #2

Every other Monday there is a new Jelly Roll Quilt a Long block.  I finally got #2 done, #3 comes out this Monday, so I was just in time.  I love how this one turned out! 

Cafe du Monde and Wyland Wall

Here’s the trolley that we rode down to the Riverwalk

Here’s the fountain at the Riverwalk.

Kasey liked the donuts at Cafe Du Monde.  But he really liked the powdered sugar best!

Stole the plate from Daddy and licked the sugar off the plate.  He had it all over him!

Then we walked outside of the Riverwalk Mall and right into the parking lot that had the Wyland Wall on it, right outside of the Hilton Hotel!  I was pretty happy with being able to see it.  It’s sad how faded it is though.

More pictures later….

Popcorn Boy

We were in City Park and Kasey wanted popcorn, so we bought a big tub so that Mark and Kasey could share it.  But Kasey threw a fit!  He wanted his own and he didn’t want to share it with Mark.  You can see him here crying.

 

No Dad, no more popcorn for you!

So then he took his popcorn and sat away from us and ate it by himself.

But it would be ok to feed his popcorn to the geese and ducks, but not Daddy.

They were really tame, Kasey liked feeding them. 

I bet the park was really pretty when the trees were in full bloom.  Notice the moss hanging down? 

We rode the trolley back to the City.  Kasey thought it was fun to put the popcorn on his head.
