I’ve completed my square, oh yes I did. I’ve completed my square, how about YOU? Aren’t we all forcing ourselves {in some way} to get everything done we’ve committed to? For me finding the time is the biggest battle and when I do, I just love love love creating and sewing. This month Rachel at Stitched in Color requested one giant square with ooo bubbles ooo. Her inspiration came from “Block Party: The Modern Quilting Bee” by Alissa Haight Carlton and Kristen Lejnieks:
Inspiration
This one was complete joy. First off, easy! Second, open to interpretation. Third, just plain cute as heck! Almost always the backs of blocks are not so pretty…but not this time people. I thought it was fun. Fun enough to show you.

Cute, ain’t it? My assignment was to use Kona Moss and the bubbles are colors of the ocean. The other squares are my bubble colors {more or less}, with their bubbles being of the same variety. I’m excited to see how Rachel puts it all together.
Ugh, so my college education resumes in approximately 3-4 weeks. It’s good, but sad really. How in the world I’m I going to keep up with everything? I’m sorry to say that I am contemplating resigning my position as a stitcher for do. Good Stitches {a Charity Bee}, at least until the school year is over. However, I’m going to hang on as long as possible. We’ll just have to see…
In the meantime, we had ZERO kids last night. Do you realize the rarity of such an event? After working all day, I got home at 4:30. Dinner was on the stove by 5:00. Cake was in the oven by 5:30. Whip cream was whipped up promptly after dinner. We ate cake. Just us. No kids. No noise, except Chef Ramsey yelling at his cooking prodigies on the telly. We slept like kings and queens without our littlest cookie monster waking me up at 1 am to snuggle. It was nice. Very nice. And happily we get to do that all over again tonight….yippy!
