Quilts and cuties and cheeks, oh my!

Last week after helping my mom make a quilt for my sister's birthday I decided I wanted one too. Logan told me I could buy myself something nice so I decided buying enough flannel for a close to queen size quilt would be nice :) It's not really big enough for my queen size bed but it does cover the top so it's a good size for movie watching and definitely big enough for two ;) I can't wait to cuddle up in it with my wonderful hubby! *sigh* :)

Anyway, here's sort of the journey from fabric squares to cuddling up.

I cut out all the squares and after laying out the pattern I stacked up each column and separated them with little numbered papers. I love that tea fabric. It's so great :)

Here's evidence I actually did do some of the sewing. I "quilted" each square with an 'X'. I asked my Mom to sew the columns together so they'd be straight and nice.

Here it is all finished :D the back is all the brown fabric.

This is the "test run" Genevieve was watching Pooh's Heffalump movie and I have to say the quilt worked juuuust fine :) I snuggled in there after we took this picture. I'm excited to take it down to Sisters and use it during the traditional watching of Pride and Prejudice :D

Tonight I gave Rowan a splashy bath which was made EXTRA special when we got an EXTRA special phone call ;) It was really fun but sort of hard to keep Rowan from standing up and trying to grab my cell phone ;) Rowan showed off his animal sounds and got a good laugh :)


Afterwards tempted by the promise of a "cookie" (animal cracker) I lured Rowan out of the tub and into a towel. Which is promptly abadoned and made a run for it :)

He ran around frightening my brother's Hayden and Cameron with his nakedness. Cameron actually jumped up on a chair, then a table to get away from him. It was so funny!




After some protest I did get him back on a towel, dried off completely and jammied.




After a bit of a bump on the head (made all better by a cuddle with mama of course) we collected blankie, donkey, and the pluggie and Rowan went to bed. he's a good boy :)
