Photos of quilt blocks

Here are the latest photos of my Mod Sampler blocks. I'm loving them so much. I just have one more log cabin block to finish before I can start sewing on the white sashing. It's coming along...

Weezer and (what else) quilting

This morning in the car, heading to Bubbe's, I was listening to "Beverly Hills" by Weezer. Penn says "Mommy, sing with us" and starts singing - she really liked the song.

So, I'm going to be making a modern, drunkard's path quilt using all solids. I'm really excited about it, but I know that I'm not going to want to give it away. I'm going to want to keep it. I might have to find another pattern to make for my brother and sister-in-law.

Why is it so hard to start back to exercising? I finally went to the Y this evening and did some uphill walking and recumbent biking  about 45 minutes in total, but I'm pretty sore right now. My body is tired. My brain is tired, too so that is good. I would like to get some sewing in before I pass out. g'night!

Penn Quotes

I don't want to forget these little gems so I better type them out for posterity.

Upon seeing a picture of herself from a year and a half ago, "Oh no! there's a problem with my teeth. Momma, my teeth fell out."

As I was putting on her shoes and she was falling off my lap: "Momma, my body!"

Auntie Storey came over and commented about the dog,
Storey: Benjamin, after all these years you still have to smell my crotch to know it's me
Penn: Auntie Storey, I can smell it too.

As she was waking up in her big girl bed to find she could get up and go to the door only to find that there was a gate in front of the door: "Momma, I'm trapped!" Then we took the gate from the door: "I'm free, I'm free!"
