If your name is Kelley and you're my sister - No Fair Peeking!!!

Update: The quilt is done (except for binding)! I dropped it of at Wendy's yesterday around 4 and she brought it back to me this morning at 8. Wow! I think she must have a magic wand somewhere and bippity-boppity-booed it done. And it looks amazing! If any of you need some quilting done, I'm happy to put you in touch.

Remember this quilt block?

I finally assembled the whole quilt top and sent it off to be quilted just this afternoon. The colors in the quilt are most like this small picture to the right (as opposed to the picture at the bottom) - very Shabby Chic.

There's no way I would have ever finished this quilt without the excellent help, suggestions, and very important piece of blue fabric from my friend Chris. Many thanks Chris!

I wish she kept a blog so I could give you a link - because all her quilts are amazing! The next best thing: a link to a fun blog she told me about - Little Cotton Rabbits

I hope to get this bound in time for Christmas.

Because who doesn't love Show & Tell?

I was hoping to post a picture of a newly completed project, but it will have to wait until next Tuesday. In the meantime, I thought I'd post about our Family Quilt.

Each block in the quilt has meaning for our family, and there are character traits that we value quilted into some of the sashing strips (ie. under the heart block, it says 'benevolent').

It was a fun project to work on, and it now hangs in our dining room. Here is a larger view:

The block on the left is a Tree of Life block; it serves to remind us of our belief that families can be together forever, and that we must strive together in our pursuit of Christ - He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6).

Ty's latest project from the Sensory Garden:



A picture of R's hair (as requested by Grandma Tree). This is the day after a haircut, believe it or not.


Lastly, here is a finished project that I can now cross off my list. I haven't a thing like it anywhere in my house - any suggestions for what to do with it? I think I like the back as well as the front. If you look closely, you can see quilting that my friend Wendy did.
