the social (lite)

just taking a moment to pop in and let y'all know that i'll be absent for the next couple of weeks.
my social calendar is overloaded.
so i'll be spending as much of my free time as i can with my family, especially Peanut.

i've been a little too quilty in my blog posts of late, so to change things up a bit i thought i'd share with you a little something special.
look who Peanut got to meet the other day!
another favorite new friend...

i finished my son's patchwork hand-tied quilt a while ago, i just never got around to taking photos of it and, since it was laying on the sofa this morning i thought, what better time than now?
kinda hard to see, i know - cell phone pics - but it's various shades of blue mixed with white squares (this was done in the same pattern as my daughter's quilt); the backing is and blue, white and dark green striped sheet and the binding is a dark green...

this week really has been outstanding and it just keeps getting better!!!
the ladies over at Quilt Story are featuring my blog post about my first quilt today - how cool is that?!?!
get on over there and check out their blog - it's really fantastic.  all kinds of wonderful work by several different artists from across the globe.  it's a great place for inspiration to get you going, advice you never knew you needed, and eye candy...
