Little Forest Quilt Along - Step 3

How are you all doing on your trees?  Have you made 1/2 of them?

I have.  Here are the top half of my trees. 

Just teasing - I've made the bottom half too.  And I have about 1/2 of my trees completed.

Now for STEP #3

For this next week we will be completing the second 1/2 of our trees. And (this is the part I just love) sewing the rows together!  I love seeing my squares turn into a quilt top.  




Have you seen the other trees on the Little Forest Quilt Along Flicker Group?  They are wonderful!!  Check them out - it's so much fun seeing each other's work and ideas. And don't forget to check out Peas In A Pod (Stephanie's Blog.) 

Now would you like to hear about the big change in my house?

Something so funny and horrible that I can't decide whether to laugh or cry?

My hubby has decided to sew. Yes, the man who uses a sledge hammer to fix things. Well, it works when you are putting up a fence or taking one down. Actually he's been saying for a long time he would like to learn.  What better time than on a quilt that is for the family and one that is being paper pieced?  (I didn't have to explain about sewing a 1/4 seam!!)

You know I had to snap a picture!!

Oh I see there is a stray balloon from Serena's party under his chair.   Do you pop all the balloons after a party or let them die a natural death?  We usually just let them die.  But sometimes they get on my nerves (just hanging around like that) and I go after them with a knife.

He did a really good job.

And the horrible part is....he liked it! Yep, you guessed it.  I don't want to share my baby - my sewing machine!  I think this story will have "to be continued" as we start looking for another machine.
