For My Lovely Sister Nicole (who's birthday is on Saturday by the way)

So I started a new quilt project. I know quilting is for old ladies but some how my mom got me sucked into it. Anyways, this post is mostly for Nicole because she wanted to see what i was working on. But everybody else can take a peak too. I still haven't decided on a pattern yet.


Sorry the pictures aren't very good. I'm not blessed with the gift of picture taking like some brothers of mine.

These are my main 2 colors.


This is a very dark picture of the complimentary fabrics.


This is another picture of the main fabric. We got a whole bunch of it for really cheap at a quilt shop nearby. I think its Micheal Miller.



This is the (almost) finished quilt that i made this summer.


So yeah, that's that! Have a wonderful week. And if I don't talk to you before Saturday:

Happy Birthday Nicole You're The Best Sister (in law) Ever To Walk The Planet!!!!!

    I love the fabrics you have! I am looking for some similar ones for photography backgrounds. I guess I will have to try our local quilt shop. Not going out today, though. We just got 10 inches of snow last night and I think I'll hibernate until it is done snowing.

    WOW! That is an amazing quilt! I am completely impressed. And no, quilting is not for old ladies. An old lady could never see the needle well enough to create the masterpiece that you have just created! :)

Love Notes

Dear Friends. Just a little post to let you know that I was a little bored of this blog. So I made a new one.

A boring story about a cake, and a very grown up brother of mine.

My older brother Nathan had a birthday the other day. He told me he wanted twice baked potatoes and a cake with home made frosting. I was all over it, sort of. I found a recipe for the cake Here and got to work. Everything was going well until i opened the oven and found 2 very strange looking cakes and a pile of cake on the bottom of the oven in a little blob {I was going to post a picture, but since a blob of chocolate cake looks similar to many undesirable things, I think I'll just let you use your imagination on this one}. To make things worse, after they cooled I attempted to pop them out of the cake pans but instead of 2 round cakes i ended up with about 7 smaller country shaped cakes. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong and I was a little discouraged, however, I wasn't going to dissapoint my brother on his birthday so i scrubbed in for a little cake surgery. After pasting some of the chunks together and with a little help from one of my roomates we ended up with th...
