Penn Quotes 2

In the bath the other day she told me "Momma, I'm making an environmentally correct birdbath."

The other night my husband and I were sitting on the back porch drinking beers and Penelope sat between us with her water bottle, took a swig and said "Ahhh! This is the life."

Yesterday, I was telling Penn that I couldn't find my sunglasses and she said "Mom, I bet Penelope's Detective Agency can find them."

Everyday on the way to Bubbe's house we pass a yellow truck selling pollo asado. Just about everyday when we turn onto the street Penn says "Mom, when you see the brown chicken, say 'brown chicken!' "

Finished Kaleidoscope Quilt/New Projects/New Stuff

Here are the photos of the finished Kaleidoscope quilt that I made for my brother and new sister-in-law for their wedding. The back took a long time to do because I had to keep cutting pieces and sewing them on to make the back as big as the top. I just can't handle quilts this size. My workspace is so small in my house and my machine just isn't up for it. I kept having tension problems with my bobbin and top thread during the quilting, but once I got that fixed, the quilt came together and I was able to mail it off. They just got it last week and I got a call saying that they loved it. I'm really proud of this project.
I have started my new quilt, but I was waiting for a new foot for my machine. I ordered it and it came two weeks ago, but I haven't opened it. I just haven't felt like doing any sewing yet. I will probably get started this week while my mother-in-law is here.
Today I started working on a knitted blanket. I have a lot of pregnant friends and I want to make them all something. I also like to be working on a knitting project even if it is just a simple blanket.
More later...
