Lots of Sewing

Thanks to Aunt Cheryl for the quilt fabric... I've been sewing like crazy trying to get this rag quilt finished before she left. And I did, BARELY. There is NO WAY that I would have ever attempted sewing an entire quilt in a day and a half, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't know how to sew the edges of the quilt and my only chances at finishing it were with her help.

So even though it was CRAZY, it was fun and I'm glad that I did it. Here's a close of of the material.

And here's Tate ENJOYING his new Cheryl Blankie. He was so happy to get to sleep with it tonight. I thought it was cute when Tate told me that now I'm an AWESOME MOM-because I MADE him a blanket. Oh, and he told Bryan that they should give me a prize for doing it...

So what did Tate do while I sewed? He stuck needles through the skin of his fingers. I had to laugh when he showed me his "cool trick", because I can totally remember doing this when I was a kid. Only I stuck one through each finger of my hand. I think that WEIRDNESS must run in the family!
