My first quilt, Fer Shizzle!

These are some seriously bad photos of my first quilt, but I don't care. Here it is! I picked it up from the quilter, Cindy Leon, today and I'm in love.
As usual, I questioned all my choices as soon as I saw it quilted but now I'm sold. I love the brown thread! I'm hoping to finish the binding in a few weeks and then I'll wear it as a cape/wrap dress/shawl everywhere I go.

I heard a Peter Murphy song on the way back from the quilter's and I wondered how I had become a crazy quilter who works in health insurance and plays kickball once a week. Who cares? I finished (nearly) a whole quilt!

Tasha's Favorite

Tasha makes me drive to Quilts Etc in Sandy to see this quilt. She loves it. She is thinking of running away to Mexico with it.

Quilt Squares and Squeakwels

This is an example of the quilt square for January. Look at how precious it is? You can't tell that it requires 36 2 1/2 inch and 64 1 1/2 squares. I finished cutting the 36 tonight and my back is killing me! Who knew that being a homemaker would hurt so much? On a bright note, part of my Kwilting Krew is going to convene tomorrow for some cutting/crafting/cursing. These are all things in which we excel.

I'd like to give mad props to Tasha and Rachel for finishing their squares. Their dedication to the craft is appreciated.

Sophia and I attended the movie portion of Zane's birthday today (my cousin Karon's super fantastic son). We saw the Squeakwel. It was painful. The only bright part was David Cross as the evil manager. Afterwards we returned to their home to open gifts, have cake and listen to the kids lose their mind on sugar. A great time, all in all.
