Blocks...

Well, it has been way too nice to be inside so I haven't been in the sewing room. Just got done a bunch of cleaning while Aidan is napping this morning. More to do but will do that at the next nap time. We had a good day yesterday visiting a friend of mine from college. He did another car ride and was pretty good in the car and while we were there. Planning to just stay home today and get the house all set for company tomorrow....and if that gets done, maybe some more raking outside.
Here are some of the blocks that I made from the leftover units from my hubby's quilt.

I have his in rows and need to sew them together. I did pick up a backing fabric for that quilt so now I just need to finish the top and then learn how to machine quilt it!
Have a good day everyone.

Beautiful weather!!!

It has been gorgeous weather the last few days! We drove down to my parents house for the day yesterday and Aidan was a very good rider for me! Slept the hour+ there and almost all the way home too! We got to take a nice long walk on their bike path... at least up to the woods area where the snow was still piled on the ground. They still have a couple of snowbanks on their lawn but with weather in the mid 70's, it won't last long. I just got inside after raking the leaves off my flower beds and I found a couple of flowers in bloom!

There is still lots of raking that needs to get done, but I remembered I needed to call on auto insurance to see if we can get a better rate. I am waiting for a call back on that, figured I needed to do it while he is still sleeping.
This weekend will be outside yardwork, burning some branches (just called and got that burn permit) and cleaning the house inside! My MIL is flying up on Wednesday to see us and I am so excited! I can't wait for her to see her grandson and it is her first trip to Vermont! Lets hope the weather cooperates for us so we can sit outside and enjoy the weather. That means I may not post too much next week since she will be here Wednesday until Monday...probably no sewing during that time either.
Ok, off to do dishes while I wait for my call....
Happy quilting everyone.
