I've been getting some things back to normal around here! You know, the REAL cooking and cleaning after you have been sick for a while. DH helped tremendously, so it's my turn to show my love back.
Also preparing for this Saturday's 4H meeting. We are starting our quilts!!! I am teaching them a very simple patchwork, turn and tie quilt. You would not believe all the positive feedback I have received after our last meeting. These kids are really into sewing! And buying fabric!! Shoot, I am raising up another generation of fabric junkies!!! LOL! They got to choose 6 different fabrics plus the backing for our next project and from all accounts it's been a blast! I am taking my two and a friend after school to get our supplies! Can't wait!
This DS's pillow project from our last meeting.
I couldn't find DD's pillow, but this is the fabric all the girls used for theirs.
This is the fabric our little friend down the street will use for her quilt. Isn't is cute?
Well, it's off to work!!

A new generation of quilters... we're passing the torch. I love the enthusiasm of kiddos this age, it's contagious. Good luck, can't wait to see their quilts made from happy colors!
I love to hear how you are passing down the legacy and love of quilting! I wish I could go to your 4-H meeting and learn it myself!
Just dont over do it, You need your rest too. The pillows are so cute. The colors you picked out are cute too. Have fun tonight.
You are going to have so much fun! Love the pillows, too. The world needs more quilters!!!
Wow, I wish I could do all this stuff. I have never been crafty. You inspire me.
Good for you Bonnie, the gift your giving these girls will be passed down to their daughters, how cool is that!! Can't wait to see what the fabric junkies can do! Have fun and be sure to take plenty of photos!
Oh, I love the orange bright prints for the quilt!! Maddie just picked that same white with bright small circles for the lining in her green satin brocade purse project for school. Kids love brights. The quilt will be perfect.
I love brights and circle/dot prints. We definitely have the same taste here.
