Quilting

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted anything new. There hasn't been much happening. However, over the last several weeks we have been working on a quilt for my nephew Nathan who's getting married in August.

It started on June 7th when Shae and I drove down to my parent's house in Hawthorne, then on to a fabric store in Buena Park (? or somewhere near there). Shae got tired of sitting so she sat on the edge of the batting bin and then decided it was hurting her rear. So, she scooted back just a little and leaned against the batting. After a moment... plop! she fell right into the bin. My mom tried her best to get her out but we were all laughing SO HARD! (Fortunately Shae had just visited the restroom...). I finally had to add my extra muscle and it took quite a few tries till we could stop laughing long enough to pull her out. There were a few fellow shoppers who enjoyed quite a show.

Back at the house we washed, ripped and ironed the fabric and began a little bit of sewing. Dad lent a hand as well.

Over the next couple weeks Shae and I finished sewing all the blocks together and adding the borders. This past weekend we all got back together again in Camarillo to tie the quilt. We find the RS room at the church comes in quite handy in these situations. Shantel and Aaron were in town so they helped as well.

The finished result! (except the binding, which mom gets to finish over the next several weeks). We are quite happy with the final product and hope Nate and Caitlin like it as well (they never read blogs so I'm not worried about them seeing this ahead of time). It looks pretty good in my room too!
