Waiting Game

I have tons of green tomatoes and I don't like fried green tomatoes. So I will have to wait. look at these two cute quilt squares I have done. But I have to wait on the rest, my sewing machine is in the shop and won't be done for another week and half. I bought so many cute girl cloths for our baby. I have to wait, she won't be done cookin' for another three months. Wait, wait, wait is the name of the game.

carrots

I thought I should put on this self-named green thumb blog something that is green thumb gardenie. I always look at my flowers or my garden and think I should get my camera out. So yesterday Wyatt and I did take some pictures of our big carrots. I had to stop Wyatt from pulling too many, he got so excited. I have to remind him to pull what your are going to eat. Wyatt had to take a picture of me and my big belly. I have three more months left, 12 more weeks. It's going to go by so fast. I better get ready.

I'm having a GIRL!!

Look at my first purchase for our little baby girl. I think its going to be the perfect colors for a Thanksgiving baby. The pattern is so cute but its a little big. I'm going to have to figure out how to make it smaller. I think this girl thing is going to be bad for the bank but very fun.

Kitchen Table????

Paul is gone and so is the kitchen table.... I have lots of projects started or wanting to be started. I really should finish one before he gets home.

My first quilt

I was helping my friend Aubrey make her first quilt last month. Aubrey is making a yellow brick road. She is using the cutest fabric. I hope she will finish it, it will be so cute when it is done. I remember my first quilt being really plain, but I finished it.
I machine quilted it with gold metallic thread it was so hard. My tension was so off, the thread kept breaking on me. I had no clue what I was doing. I wanted to quilt stars along the sides but that never happen. I should give a big thanks out to my Mother-in-law, Dayna that helped me.
I think it's great for my first quilt. After making 40+ quilts I am still learning how to do so many things. I think the trick is you have to finish it. So you can move on to another, then another, then one day you find that you love it.

scrappy quilt

I am working on the back of this quilt. I want to use up all my scraps. My goal is to piece the back and bind it with what I have and only buy bat. As you can see I have two of my squares done. I have wanted to do pinwheels for a long time. Just ask Melissa every time I see one done, I have to say "Oh I want to do that next". Now I'm finally doing one. But now as I make these cute pinwheels. I wonder if I should put them on point or should I throw in a log cabin. I guess you'll just have to see. I love these fabrics they make me so happy. This is all I want to do, but I have made myself make dinner, do laundry, and play with my boys. So it will take me longer to finish it but that's OK, who said good things come to those that wait. This quilt is going to be awesome when its done.
