Quilting and our Outdoor Challenge

Thanks to everyone who posted their lovely tutorials on Friendship Friday yesterday, what a great gift it is to share so freely all across the globe:) Well, the quilting has begun, Jenna is really enjoying this process. We made a simple template of a square and have been cutting out plenty of squares of fabric. Jen has been sewing them all together and is very happy with her lovely creation. She has been doing all the sewing herself and is so focused, I am so proud of her…
Her quilt so far…
She is making it for her bed, and has measured everything and planned exactly how it will look once it is finished…
Outdoor Challenge…

There are so many Autumn leaves falling from our trees in the back garden, Caiden though it would be fun to rake up all the leaves and jump into the pile…

Today was baseball prizegiving, Caiden received a medal and both the girls received certificates, yay!

I have received two Beautiful Blogger Awards, one from my lovely friend Jen over at Ancient Hearth and another from a new friend to my blog, Indigomama over at Where Wild Strawberries Grow. Thank you both for thinking of me:) I have just popped over to Jen’s new Etsy shop, she has the most wonderful needlefelted and wooden treasures! Do go and take a peek:)

Tomorrow I will post about some new blogs that I am enjoying at the moment:)

Have an inspired weekend everyone:)

    So interesting to see photos of your son raking leaves as we here in Utah are eagerly looking at our trees for signs of buds and green new life after a long winter.

    Your daughter is doing a beautiful job on her quilt. Can’t wait to see it when it is finished!

    LOL, yesterday we were raking the dead leaves out of the roses to prepare for spring. It’s so fun to see the preparations for the new seasons around the world!

    The quilt is absolutely beautiful.

    Gasp! I LOVE Jen’s quilt! So beautiful. I’ve never made a quilt…..one day.
    And it’s so funny to think of trees with leaves falling in Africa. I think most of us think of Africa as the Serengetti. (did I spell that right?)

    The quilt looks beautiful and what a helpful boy to rake the leaves for you like that. It looks like a beautiful day. Take care.

    Congratulations to both children for their excellent achievements. Can’t wait to see how the quilt turns out, well done Jen!

    Jen’s quilt looks terrific. You must be so proud of her. I would like to learn to quilt, but have worried it might be too difficult. Jen is an inspiration.

    A quilt is a lovely thing. I don’t think my daughters ever finished an actual wrap-around sized one. Wall hangings, yes. And I’m with Rachel – again, it’s so odd to be time-offset with you, but fun, too. Rachel was in a terrible car accident today – I’m sure she’ll be writing about it. But tonight, she’s sleeping in the hospital with her son. All’s well – we hope.

    How do you have time to do all you do and still collect more friends and new blogs? I’ve put on five pounds in the last month doing just that. So it’s out to the horses for me!!

    I really enjoyed touring all the tutorials from Friday. I want to write one myself when I grow up.

    I bet Jenna can’t wait to snuggle down under her quilt. She is doing a beautiful job – so much love goes into a patchwork blanket – that is why we treasure them so much.
