It's Sew Cool!

Sophie saved Capri Sun pouches in addition to Emma gathering them up from friends at lunch. She sewed it together on New Year's Eve. I was tired of her watching so much television. We know that all her friends will want one when they see it!

A Quilting We Will Go

Fun quilts that I have recently done for customers.

Emma's first quilt

Emma made her first quilt for her friend, Holly. Emma sewed all the squares into rows and after sewing 4 of the rows together she asked me to help her. She quilted it on my quilting machine and I did the binding. She had a lot of fun making it.

Quilting Mania

Emma sewed an I Spy quilt for her dear friend's birthday. She wants to quilt it also so she practiced on a plain one first. Here is her first quilted project! She did great. That girl has personality!

Sophie's Big Weekend

Sophie celebrated her 12th birthday last Friday. For her date with mom and dad she choose Red Lobster where she tasted lobster and crab legs for the first time. She loved them as well as the coconut shrimp. Saturday morning she got up early to participate in her All District Orchestra auditions. Then we went and bought some sushi for lunch. Tyler and Emma were not big fans of it but Sophie thought it was heaven. I made her a cupcake birthday cake and she helped frost it. Sunday she was visited by the Young Women Presidency and welcomed into Young Womens. She is pretty excited to go on Wednesday. There are 14 beehives! At school on
Monday she found out that she made All District Orchestra. Not only that, but of the 35 spots in the orchestra she made 8th chair! Also of note, Sophie is in 6th grade and this is the 7th grade orchestra! Way to go Sophie!
