Maniacal Blogger!
I know you are wondering what the heck has gotten into me, blogging 4 times in one week, my average is once a week!Well, several big project are over and I'm having fun with these CQ blocks, each is different, so I thought I'd subject you to the next one! This one features my two cuties, Aine (onya) and Aisling (ashling) ages 3 and 2 respectively...they were more like 3 and 18 months here in this photo, but I love it, it is one of my favorites and taken by my husband with them sitting on my lap... I was going to have a muslin sashing, but I'm thinking a dark brown or green to link the blocks would look nicer.
This is going in a different direction than I had envisioned but I like the colors and textures I pulled out of my stash, so I'll stick to this pallette...
I also managed to get all the sashing sewn onto my Dear Jane quilt today and started sewing on my first border...maybe you might even see that tomorrow.
Somebody STOP ME!
On a totally different note, we seem to be progressing towards moving...oh so slowly, tomorrow I run around town doing legal and banking things while my dear friend looks after the girls, bless her!
Been looking around at quilting and knitting blogs, I feel the knitting pulling me in...used to do it ages ago, before kids...will I succumb? do I have time to? Hmmmm...

I learned to knit when I was 13 years old and I love making Aran style sweaters best of all. Quilting will always be what I will do the most of but I won't give up on embroidery, cross stitching or knitting. If you feel like--there are so many really cool yarns out there--why not!? Just to pick up even once a week might be fun!
I love the children's names. It's not something you hear every day. The quilt blocks are coming along great. You'll have to take a group picture when you get 4 or 6 blcoks complete. The fabric choices are striking.

This quilt will be very special to you and I love it already a lot.
What a darling block! This is going to be a great quiltlet.
I don't knit. I tried once. I don't knit. =)
I enjoy occasional knitting too...it's a nice change of pace from quilting.what a fun idea for a cq with photos....it's going to be very special..I do like green sashing by the way
I love how your crazy photo blocks are turning out! And knitting - it is something I like to do when I am visiting other people - a little less invasive then me bringing in my sewing machine, etc. (unless, of course, I am visiting a quilter!). Sounds like you have been busy.
Cheers!
