Jelly Roll Finish

I am a little behind on my blogging but it's been a busy few weeks. I watched the "grand" this past weekend. It left me wondering how I managed to raise four children...but I had so much fun!

This face just kills me!

And she kept me on her toes!

She has stolen her Nana's heart!

And now back to our regular program... I did manage to get my Jelly Roll project done and I love how it turned out!

I was able to piece the leftover blocks together to create the back for the quilt.

I love how this quilt was made from fabric in my stash!!

I was also able to use some of the smaller pieced blocks to make a quilt label and holder!

I haven't figured out what I am going to do with this quilt. I'm not ready to give it up so I may just have to find a place to hang it in my sewing room! I love this project and I love this pattern. I can't wait to make it again.

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Where did the time go!

It’s almost the end of AUGUST!! How did that happen? So much happened in the last coupe of months. It’s hard to know where to start! Important news first? Chronological news Latest news? Let’s go with chronological order..... MAY Work trip to Spokane I had a conference in Spokane the first week of May in Spokane, Wa. I think the last time I was there was 35 years ago when Dan was at WSU working on his Phd!! We visited the famous Davenport hotel and it was just beautiful! And we found a beautiful grotto on the campus of Gonzala University. Loved traveling with these ladies! They make a week long conference so much more bearable! Etsy Activities I made another custom Farm Quilt and those baby booties were sent to Sarah for her first baby!! And there was another custom farm quilt, which was one of my favorites but... I made this custom quilt for ...

My first "I made it" week!!

Well this was my very first "I made it" week and even though the weather wasn't the best I think it was a success. Friday was my last day and as you can see from the collage above this was my choice for the day: Looks a lot like the pattern right? This was so easy to put together especially since there wasn't a zipper. This was cut as a size 8, something that I am still not used to. I still add extra on the hips so I grade it out to a size 12. My daughter would say that my clothes are too loose but I would say that they are nice and comfy!! This pattern essentially has 2 collars to achieve the look. I skipped the pockets. I find that unless they are stitched down they usually add bulk to the sides. I realize that most people leave reviews on the pattern and that is something that I have neglected to do so here goes.... Pattern sizing: size 8 graded to a size 12'at the hips. Did it look like the photo/drawi...
