Other things...

Haven't done much sewing lately.  Maybe two - three rows of my baby quilt.  I have been working on my oldest's school yearbook.  Once that is done, I will get back to sewing. 

Oh...I almost forgot!  I am going on a scrapbook retreat in June!  I am sooo excited.  Went on one last yr and can't wait to go again.  It has been so long since I got any pages done.  The ladies at the retreat may laugh at me if I bring the same album as last yr.  But unfortunately, I have to.  Yup, it's been that long.  And this time I got some friends to go with me!  That makes me even more excited. 

And it is baseball time in our house too.  I got both boys playing, one in farm and one in t-ball.  Going to be a long spring with 4 practices a week and then come May 4 games a week.  Oiy!

Design

With help from my son, I have a layout of my WIP. We tried a few layouts before we got one that he was happy with.


Please excuse the ugly brown rug beneath it.  I am hoping to have it gone this summer.

My son is thinking a solid blue for the backing.  I am a little bumming about that but it is for his teacher.  She loves polka dots and says that the room is mostly pinks and greens...maybe I can get him to do green instead.  I figure I will go with a flannel.  Hope it is not too hard to work with.  I haven't used if on a quilt yet.
