Ok, on to the point of the post. Domesticated Goddess...I've been LOVING having Carole's sewing machine readily available. My newest project?? A Skirt!! Didn't I do awesome?? Ok, Carole helped; as usual, but I still did it! Woohoo for me :). I must admit, according to the pattern, I measured a 12, and since I don't want to admit that I could be a 12, I cut a 10. Not the brightest idea I've ever had, but it all worked out in the end. We just couldn't take the elastic short-cut. We actually had to sew in a zipper (which my mom-in-law did :) ). My sister informs me that patterns are always sized bigger. Next time, I may just follow the directions and do the size it says. Novel, eh?
Next, we are successful!! 7 grandkids = 7 quilts, and they're all pieced, tied, and ready to be bound! Aren't we awesome?? Carole and I have been piecing them for the last month or so. Today, My mom was nice enough to bring up her quilting frames and we tied all 7. It was great!
Waiting to be tied...all 7 :).
the Carole's...hard at work, with Brooklyn supervising of course...
My Mom....
some of the finished products...
and the rest of them... It was so much fun!Thanks to Carole for putting up with my stubborn determination. Thanks to my Mom for indulging us, driving to Logan, and spending the day. I had a blast and I feel very accomplished! ON to the Binding!!

I think pattern sizes make you feel so big - seriously, my mom made my wedding dress and it's a size 12, I was size 6 in the store if I would have bougt one off the rack - what's up with that?!?!
cute job - love the skirt and the quilts - way to go brooklyn on the bowling score!
Way to go on the skirt, it's way cute! I won't even go there with the size thing!
So fun! Way cute quilts and skirt!
Great job on the skirt. I also love the quilts. I have been in such a quilting mood although I don't know how to do it. I would love to sit down with a bunch of old ladies from my grandma's church some day and have them teach me all the tricks. I think they are so beautiful and so full of memories and life. Now everytime that you look at those quilts, you will think about all the memories from making them.
Looks like you have been keeping busy at hibsh's house! Looks like tons of fun tying those quilts! And who is that handsome boy in the bowling picture?? Didn't know my bro. was so good lookin'!
We had sooo much fun bowling! We def. need to do that again before you guys leave!
Ann Marie, good for you! I am amazed, you have been very busy. I love the skirt and the quilts are darling. Very nice work!
Awesome skirt! Way to go! Your mom is such a cute lady. How is she doing by the way? I love all of the quilts too! How fun!
