Ages ago I had seen a pattern for a morning star block on Little Miss Shabby's blog. Lots of pieces but each block is 18 inches square. Easy right- yea- right. <br />

It started out so well- got one block done........<br />
<br />
I guess should go back and say this is for my cousin and his wife. They had girl number three back in March. Flea Market Fancy is some my favorite happy fabric, so I brought it out for this and I was so excited how it was coming out. <br />
<br />
Spring was crazy around here and it took me awhile to get anything down on it. But finally I had my four blocks and then my top done. Yes- time to get quilting- my least favorite part- but happy to get going on it and get it sent out. I get over half of it quilted and in the middle of doing a block I notice I have pieced it wrong. <br />

Seriously, how could I not notice that two squares were completely set wrong- I had stared and stared at the top deciding colors for the setting squares -binding - all of it - how could I not notice that? So the quilt sat for a few days- just trying to decide what to do - do I take it all apart? Lets face it if I did it would become her graduation from high school quilt and not her welcome to the world quilt. <br />

<br />
When I use to crosstitch I use to leave one mistake in every sampler- my way of making it my own. And it was fun to know where they were in each one. So I went with that approach- I left it. It's my mark on it, my own oops. My hopes are that the recipients enjoy the oops as much as I do. It's a good reminder to enjoy the oopes that happen- that they really do come out beautifully and sometimes even better for now they have a good story. <br />

I was messing around with a few options in making him the other night, two different pinks, a curly tail and a straighter tail. Then one I gave a butt crack. I thought it was kind of cute and funny- so I showed my three kids. WOW what a reaction!!!! One thought it was funny and kind of cute and one thought it was horrible. He kept saying, "no butt cracks." I wonder how many families have that conversation after dinner? The whole thing still makes me smile and laugh. <br />

Butt crack or not- these guys make great additions to nursery decor, a great gift for someone who collects pigs or just a cute little gift for a friend to brighten their day. They are listed in my etsy shop or contact me if you are interested. The etsy link is above. <br />

Right now we are in the middle of the blizzard here on the east coast. Thinking about pigs and farms and spring is warming me up while the snow continues to fall.<br />

More farm friends on the way before Easter, stay tuned. <br />

Lucky me - I just finished up a baby boy blanket. It was nice to play around with blues and reds- something different. I came up with two tops and let my friend decide which she wanted to give to the soon to be parents. <br />

Heres the one she chose- basic five inch squares. It's mostly Sweetwater fabrics- a little stitch squares, joel dewberry- and a bunch of odds and ends I had around that worked in well. My favorite fabric was the trucks- just kind made the whole quilt- and it's cute. <br />

They are a great unique baby shower present. Just this or add a bib or some burp cloths and you are done. For toddlers just learning to roam around a throw things they are great too. They love the sound and that they can grab it. And they can do too much damage with a nice soft ball. Each one is approx 5 inches in diameter and still soft enough that small hands are able to grab. <br />
<br />
<br />
There are also ones for the older kids- didn't want them to feel left out. This one is for my daughter- she is a freshman in high school- the front is her high school- Conestoga- and the back is the year she is going to graduate. This way when she is mad at her brothers and wants to throw something at them- she has something that won't kill them- or break anything. <br />

I finally finished a project!!! It has been too long since anything was completed. This is a quilt for a special friend- for her long since past birthday. And I can finally put it in the mail to her. It came out just as hoped. The size is smaller- more of a lap quilt. But good for throwing over your legs when it is chilly in California- or sitting on during a soccer or baseball game. <br />
<br />
I used linen and Denyse Schmidt's Florence line. The final dimensions are 44 x 38. The quilting is all hand done with a pearle cotton - a coral color and white. The binding is scrappy- with bits of all the fabrics used for the flying geese. <br />

the second baby quilt was one for a friend- for her niece. her room is purple and green so she wanted to stay with those colors. the pattern is a square in a square. i used what some call the stack and whack method. my friend wanted the babies name embroidered on the back. i hadn't done any embroidery in a bit. it was a lot of fun to refresh those skills. these days with the internet there are so many fonts available to you it's hard to choose. <br />

We started talking about Thanksgiving the other day and making plans. It truly feels like we were sitting on the beach yesterday enjoying the lack of schedules and homework. Below is theBlack Hole Star from April. It was one you could do one of two different ways. I ended up choosing the way she did not have it pictured. I love how it came out. <br />
