Sewing with The Kid

I know I haven't been posting a lot lately,

but I have been sewing a lot!

I have been making great progress on my flying geese quilt.

I have 56 four geese blocks

And I have 30 of these square in square filler blocks.

I love this one with the little sheep in the middle.

I am paper piecing all of these and I love the precision.

The Kid came over today to sew with me.

I LOVE it when this happens.

We have so much fun giggling and figuring out 

what works and what doesn't on our projects.

She finished the top for her log cabin quilt,

and started piecing the back.

I think I convinced her that quilting by check 

 might be the way to go for this quilt.

It's queen size and it would be her first time quilting it herself.

Maybe start with something smaller??? 

I want her to keep sewing!  Haha.

I worked on this Love wall hanging.

The kid helped me with the border selection,

and she was so right.

My first choice was way too busy.

I was inspired by Nichi at Quiltycat

and her love quilt.

I had to re-do a couple of the letters.

You really need to lay them all out to make sure the

colors work next to each other.

So we settled on a Kaffe border . . . 

(What a surprise!)

This little goodie is headed to a good friend for her birthday.

Shhhhh . . . it's a surprise.

Now to quilt it.

All in all a great day of sewing with the best company ever!

Hope you had a fun day too.
