It's been a long time, too long, since I added a post to my little blog world. The sweeties and keeping me on my toes this summer with visits to new parks, ice cream treats, and library visits. I did have a few hours a few days in a row to be home alone. Such an unexpected treat. Don't get me wrong, I love all the P's to death, but it was the first time I have been in our home alone since the twins were born. They are over 4 years old now!

So what did I do with my time? Well, I got out my sewing machine, of course! I had started a simple baby quilt as a shower gift, and was starting to think I was going to have some late nights getting it done while the kids were in bed. With the extra time I was able to spread things out on the kitchen table and get it done.

So... my masterpiece

 I haven't done much machine quilting. My Aunt has a long arm and would quilt my stiff for me or let me use it. She moved out a state, so I had to come figure out how to finish my quilts. This was the second quilt that I quilted myself on my machine. It worked out great with my new walking foot.

I am rather happy with the way it turned out. It was a simple half square triangle design using precut charm packs. I used three total, two printed and 1 white, and I had a few left over. I liked it when it was done, but now seeing the pictures that I FINALLY downloaded from my camera, I see that I did a good job (if I do say so myself). And the new Mom, or Mom X3 now, hung it over the baby's crib. I feel honored!
