Busy, fun week.

Last week was a busy, fun-filled week. I started it 

with 5 days spent with these guys.

We had a great time. Here's a break for hot cocoa after playtime in the snow.

Love those rosy cheeks.

And they were so helpful. 

Cal had his first sewing lesson, mending the holes in the knee of his pants.

He was very patient and did a great job.

While in town, I met with quilting friend, Diane Larson, to learn the One Block Wonder quilt made from panels. This is the panel we started with. You start with 7 panels. Stack 6, matching designs, and save 1. From the stacked panels, cut triangles to make One Block Wonder blocks (see book). Then arrange them around the 1 saved panel.

The twins were very helpful in this, too. Calvie was making pizzas with his pieces and Liv tried to find the match for her pieces.

The next day, with the kids all back in school, Diane and I met again to play with the lay out. Isn't this getting prettier?

And I ended the week with these 2 at my house, nieces Lindsay and Jill.

Jill was working on her first quilt and did a very nice job. We had it quilted by the end of the day.



Lindsay came with 4 quilt tops and she got them all quilted that day. Plus she drove 2 1/2 hours to get here and 2 1/2 hours back home. Oh to be that young again! I am so glad they came and we look forward to scheduling another Sew Day at Aunt Jac's.
