I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter holiday weekend.  I had one of the best weeks of my life.  My daughter Camilla, who lives in Washington, called last Sunday evening to say she was flying home with Gracie for a week.  I screamed and danced all over the bedroom.  I miss my Washington girls and it was beyond amazing to have them for a week.

Our Gracie Sandwich!

What a smile...laughing at Grammy

 Camilla, Grammy, Gracie, Maggie, and Kristina..the Girls

If you're a Mom or a Grammy you know how much you love those babies.  I tell them they are always my babies no matter how big they get.  It was a perfect week with them all.  Lots of dancing, late night movies, silly noises, and tons of giggles!  I can't wait till Camilla and her little sweetheart come back.

I was finally finished a new pattern called Faith Hope Love.  It is simple and quick to stitch and can be made in many different color ways.  You know I love red, so I made mine with bright red colors.  But pastels and muted colors would be sweet too.

Faith Hope Love

I placed this pattern in the Everyday Thoughts section.  The frame was an unfinished frame with a 4" x 6" opening.  I painted it with Barn Red paint and Modge Podged a piece of fabric from the Wonderland by MoMo.  It is a Moda fabric.  I bought a bunch of it and have a few more projects calling to me.

I found a fun blog called Lovely Little Handmades.  She (Kerri) has some very simple quilt patterns and things to decorate a childrens room.  I LOVED the booties she has at her ETSY site  mayaeliseboutique@etsy.com.  And she lives a few minutes from Camilla! Small wonderful world huh?  I was inspired by the use of bright fabrics bordered in white.  I really love the look of simple clean white.  People comment that my quilt backs are too boring, but I love simple. 

Well...I better run get homework done and a picnic ready.  It is a sunny day today and we have three days of rain and snow coming.  Have a great day!
