Is it just me, or has Typepad changed?? It wasn't like this yesterday! Weird. Anyways, Happy Birthday, mom! Glad you liked your present. In case you couldn't guess, it was a quilt! Another one. I was making an oven mitt last Wednesday and it wound up looking more like a claw, so I decided to do a quilt. I ran up to the store to get some coordinating fabric for my Swell fat quarters, and just made up a cute, easy pattern. I barely had anytime to work on it, because last Wednesday was an awards dinner for Derek (best teacher!), then Thursday was his dinner for his b-day, then Friday I was home so obviously couldn't work on it in front of mom. So it left me little to no time to work on this guy. I finished it up Monday afternoon, didn't take time to wash it (she's been instructed), snapped some photos and jammed it in a box. It went out overnight, and made it there just in time!

Yep, Typepad's different!

I quilted this with straight, vertical lines. The backing is the dark pink gingham, which is the same as the main rectangle. You can't tell, but the cream has pink flowers all over it. The binding is a floral print, but not from the Swell line. Can you tell her favorite color is pink?

Mom also started a different blog, this time with blogspot. If you've got a second, swing by and wish her happy b-day! She's also got a b-day sale going at Etsy.

I wanted to be crafty today, but wasn't. The only things I made were one measly headband, and a pen case for Derek. I love my Mondays and Tuesdays, but I need to make some more stuff!

The headband's cute though. It's skinny, but big enough to fit my larger than average head. For a small person my head is quite big! It's reversible to a pretty tan linen, so it will go with everything!
