Okay, I missed WiP Wednesday which is just CRAY CRAY, right? I love it and I love to link up to it and I completely spaced it. I am sorry! I have been super bad with blogging but I have a list of compelling excuses reasons for not blogging! Preparing for a house settlement, renovation, my mom's birthday and a major overseas trip with my nearly 6mo old daughter count right?

I worked like crazy this week and in addition to everything I completed last week, I finished two more! I don't have proper pictures yet but I am officially done with the quilts I'm taking over to my family. So let's do a round-up of who is getting what!

My quilting to-do pile now looks like this:

My "to do" pile!

My done quilts pile looks like this!

Doneskies!

I will be honest: I feel completely at a loss for what to spend my afternoon doing.

It was time for a non-quilting sewing project so I opted to make a little bag for Piper's nappy clean-bags. I tried out my new invisible zipper foot and, guys? IT IS AMAZING. I will put invisible zippers in EVERYTHING. FOREVER.

SO CUTE.

I finished my last quilt this afternoon. It looks so great! J3 is excited and I am excited too. I love the way it turned out.

A Walk in the Woods

I especially love the binding - it was worth the trip to Hobbysew to pick up more of it! I also took the opportunity to sign up for the two-day quilting workshop with Deb Louie! It's in May, which is soon(ish) but I'm really looking forward to it.

This afternoon I should be finding something to do...because check out the nap this kid is swimming through. Two hours and counting! I love it when she has a nice big feed and falls asleep. She doesn't roll over in her sleep (thankfully...YET...!) so I just leave her on the couch and let her snooze.

Milk coma

Shoes on, arms up, cutest baby in the world.

I might make myself a cup of tea!

T2 Tea makes me happy!

We stocked up last weekend. I love T2 and I think their tea is just beautiful - not only to drink but also to look at!

Finally, we might be the dorkiest family ever, but yes: we have matching shoes. And it is awesome. Piper's, naturally, are the cutest.

Family

That's it for me! I guess I'd better go dig out some blocks and start piecing another top or two. Might a well get the ball rolling on my new to-quilt pile!

Enjoy your weekend! :)
