A Weekend with My Mom

This last weekend my mom came up and we had a blast. We went shopping and she helped me make a toddler quilt for baby Dexter to one day use. We went to DI and found some really cute sweater vests for $1 and then we went to the new JoAnn's super store that just opened in Boise so I could get the rest of my fabric for the quilt. We had a lot of fun!

Mom sewing the binding on my quilt. I didn't know how to do it since it wasn't a rag quilt. I know how to now!


Here is Me begining my top.


Here is a close up of my fabric. It is really cute!


Here is the final product. It went through a lot of revision on paper and slowly became simplified. I ended not wanting to cut a lot of squares so it ended up in stripes. I think it turned out pretty cute!

Thanks Mom for a great weekend!

It looks like you had a lot of fun. I was debating on going with your mom to come and visit but decided that it would be fun with just you and your mom. Curtis and I want to come down sometime and stay with you. Good job on the quilt. I can't wait to me my nephew. He will be my first nephew and we are way excited. Can't wait to see you guys.
