Happy and sad

I’m sort of happy and sad!

I’ll show you in a second

First let me show you more Ahhhh’s

So here’s the HAPPY part!!

I finished “Underwater Stars”

using Yenter “atlantis” fabrics

I designed this quilt in EQ7 and have the pattern up for sale in my craftsy store here

Here’s details of the quilting, just curves from corner to corner the red makes a nice secondary design!

Scrappy backing

And fun label made on my Brother machine

Now here’s the SAD part….. when I was quilting it, I had the SLR ON! usually I don’t but I kept it on from when I did the QBB quilt earlier and it was going along just fine, but when I was done and took the quilt off the frame, EVERY corner point had little loops on the back. I think I went too fast and the SLR couldn’t keep up with me….

some of them might get pulled up if I wash the quilt but other loops were quilted over, so there’s no way of fixing that unless I rip it all out, which I’m NOT going to do…. Oh I could CRY over this….

these are the only scraps I have left over BTW. not much WOOHOO!

I took a pic of the fish as it was being embroidered

The Valentine’s MMRR is on the frame being quilted (actually it’s done NOW)

Now onto some baby pics

Sonja fell asleep in her playpen

And Peanut slept on the floor next to her

Sonja has actually been sick this week, Wednesday and Thursday she had a high fever (up to 103.7)

Then Friday morning it was GONE!

Yesterday she started getting a rash all over her body and it’s worse today, but she’s not bothered by it at all.

I think it’s ROSEOLA

Here she’s testing the quality of the AHHHH paper/pattern

today she was inspecting my blue and yellow kaleidoscope blocks

see the rash on her neck?
