I
slept like a log again Saturday night, but was up in time Sunday morning (8/26)
to see Michael off for an early tee time.
I fed the kids and cleaned up the kitchen and made my morning tea before
heading to my studio. First up was
getting the second baby quilt loaded and basted:
After that I set up the program, wound
bobbins and kicked off the quilting. I
just used the same pattern as was on the first baby quilt to make it easy on
myself :~). While that was stitching out, I got to cut
into a new FOUST fabric!!! Remember the
black with crayons I used most recently on the Hunter’s Star quilt?
That bolt is almost finished, so when I went
to FOUST I told myself that I was allowed to buy a new bolt to make kid’s
quilts. I found a fabric (when I was
looking for fabric for BG) that I just fell in love with. It is manufactured by Timeless Treasures, so
I looked it up on the FOUST website, since they carry many TT fabrics…but they
didn’t have it :~(. I wrote down the exact name anyway (they had a lot of fabric with similar sounding names), as I
wanted to look for it when we went to FOUST….and I found it….they only had ONE
bolt and I snatched it right up….I LOVE it!!!!
Is this not the most fun fabric?! I can’t wait to make several quilts out of it…so the first one got cut
out today:
Which also included 2 other bolts bought at FOUST:

Michael got home at 2 PM with
a 90 (yikes!), and they had a good brunch before coming home. I worked in my studio until dinnertime, then
joined Michael to watch TV and knit for the rest of the evening. Before I headed upstairs for dinner, the quilting on this second baby quilt was done:
I couldn’t resist this picture….this is the
only real way to eat Loree & Reg’s tomatoes, just cut up with a little salt &
pepper:
Loving this new quilt!
