April Quilting

So since I've been pregnant with little girl I've basically done zero quilting.  I really need to get back to it because I have lots to do!  So I'm going to link up with Sew BitterSweet a her Lovely Year of Finishes to try and achieve something in April.

My list:
1. finish square for MoMs bee (piece)
2. Finish Grey Diamond quilt (sandwich, quilt, bind)
3. Quilt for baby girl


I also need to finish a quilt for J that needs to be sandwiched, quilted and bound, I have one for Soph I've been working on blocks for and then just a fun one that I'm almost done with all the blocks.  That might be too much for April.

Baby girl is still hanging in there.  I'm 31 weeks along and she has been busy busy growing.  I'll post an update soon.

52 Lists

I saw this on another blog who got it from Meet Me at Mike's.  It's just creating a list every week.  So here is mine.

 

 

 

My dad worked for Exxon Mobil growing up so the first 6 places were all locations I moved to with my family.  I was born in Texas and I spent most of my childhood years in Houston so I say that I grew up in Texas, but I've lived in Virginia more years now than anywhere else.  New York was only for a few months but I went to preschool there and that is where my grandmother lived.  It holds a special place in my heart.  My mother and sister and I lived there while we were looking for a house in Hoptacong.  I went to James Madison University in Harrisonburg, and loved it.  Harrisonburg is a very unique fun college town with lots of outdoor things to do that I did not take enough advantage of.  We lived in Washington DC when we were first married and I loved it.  I would move back there but we can't afford a house with a yard.  We lived in Fairfax when we found out we were expecting the girls and then brought them home from the hospital to our first home in Burke.  I love our house now, we live in a great neighborhood with lots of parks and we have amazing neighbors.  It is a fantastic kid friendly area.  Plus I work 5 minutes from home!
