Another new great nephew and Peekaboo Rag quilting time again!

 My niece had her baby Wednesday....she named him Jensen. Isn't he just the cutest baby ever? Now if you think this sounds familiar...like I might have said the same thing in Nov. when my other great nephew was born....then I am here to tell you that even though it seems nearly impossible, our family seems to have gotten 2 of the cutest babies ever born! I'm not sure what the odds are there, but it happened! I think he was posing for this pic!

His cousin, Emerson, came to visit.....guess we know he is growing by leaps and bounds. He is about 6 weeks old now. I think there will be lots of fun times in store for these boys as they grow up together. I have one more niece who is due in May...she just found out she is having a boy as well! 

 I had a full class peekaboo rag quilting again on Saturday. They had their fabric all cut, so we could start in with the sewing, so everyone made good progress.

 Everyone had chosen such pretty fabrics!

 They all promised me that they would stop in so I could see them finished, or send me pix.

The other 4 ladies were playing bashful, so I didn't get their pictures. It was a fun class and everyone got lots accomplished, which is always nice! I will probably be teaching this class one more time, as I have some people on a waiting list. So if you are interested in taking this class, let me know.

I am off today, so plan on getting some more sewing done. I worked on a floor pillow for class yesterday...will post more about that when I get some good pix.

Beginning Quilting and Rag quilting

 The ladies in the Beginning Quilting class are almost finished with their quilts. It is so much fun to see them develop.

 They layered and tied them last week. This Thursday they will learn to make binding and attach it.

 Then they will have their first finished quilt!

 They all turned out so beautiful!

 I didn't get very many pictures during the Peekaboo Rag Quilt class....darn!

Peekaboo Rag quilt class

I had a full classroom for yesterday's Peekaboo Rag Quilt class. I had given them a cutting sheet, along with the supply sheet so they could cut ahead if they wanted to. For this quilt, that works well, since the cutting is simple. That way they can spend most of the class time sewing.  

 This rag quilt has peekaboo Xs made by using a chenille technique, so that was something new to learn. Sometimes sewing straight lines is the hardest! My Peekaboo model is hanging on the wall (left side) on the
above picture.


 They were very enthusiastic about jumping in and sewing.

 It was a first quilt for one lady!

 There was lots of friendly chatter....and snacks of course!

 The time seemed to fly by!

What could be more fun on a Saturday afternoon than working with layers and layers of flannel?

This beats Saturday football any day in my book!
