Moving Weekend

We helped our daughter move this weekend, and helped our son move this weekend.  Two moves in one weekend was a bit exhausting but also satisfying.  They both still have a lot of work to do unpacking and organizing stuff into their new places though!

My daughter found this lovely lamp at Ikea.  I was happy when she told me she was only kidding about wanting to buy it!
I've mentioned that my husband and I both like The Container Store.  Well, this was his first trip to Ikea.  I don't know if you've ever been to Ikea before but there is only one way in and one way out, like a maze that takes you through the entire store.  It's a bit overwhelming to see all of the stuff they have in there!  And, you have to see it all in order to get out of the store!

My husband said, before we entered the maze, "Now, we don't NEED anything, RIGHT?"  Meaning, daughter is doing the shopping, not us....  However HE was the one that kept stopping and looking at everything.  He also was the one that got to assemble the bookcase and the dresser that she purchased :)

His birthday is coming up soon so we had a little celebration with our kids who were around, at my son's "new place" :)

I still have a few more quilt pictures from the Denver show but I am getting to the bottom of the barrel!

Dear Jane Blocks

I made six Dear Jane blocks so far this month, with three more close to being finished.  I may not get all 12 (my goal) done in the next couple of days so my plan is to catch up and also make 12 for June in the early part of June before I start making baby quilts :)

I really do love these little blocks and am getting more and more excited to start putting the quilt together!


This block was machine pieced and hand appliquéd.



The block below was all machine pieced.
