Round Robin



I recently joined the Boeing Quilt Guild and dove into a Round Robin project in hopes to better my quilting skills. How does relate to What's new Addy? Well...my center square is an "A" for Addysen as I thought it would be special for her to have a quilt with Laura's fabric in it but to have someone else come up with the design. (lol) Laura designed this fabric quite a few years ago and I have been holding on to because I didn't know what to do with it. This project started 5 months ago and we didn't get to see our quilt until the 5 rounds had been completed. Here's a picture of Addysen's finished quilt - these 5 ladies in my group did an amazing job!








Waiting patiently to see her quilt....(she's anticipating her surprise I promised her)




Her reaction...She loved it!! After I showed her I had to put it away so nothing could happen to it until it's done being quilted on the long-arm machine.

Family Ties

Aunt Laura and Cousin Jenna came to town and we had a blast!! We all played hooky and spent time in downtown Seattle shopping until our purses were empty! Then Laura, Jenna and I took a road trip in the Girl Bug to Portland for Quilt Market and Addy got to spend quality time with her Dad! Laura showed off her quilts while we all drooled and marveled over her talent and eye for design. (secretly hoping that Addy has inherited her creative gene)

We hope that Laura and Jenna come back to visit us very soon! Thanks for the memories!
