birds and the bees 1

Something I have been working on for the baby. As you can see I have lots more work to be done. Slowly but surely its coming.

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.
