Andrew's First Ever T-ball Practice

Andrew has been wanting to play baseball like his big brother for so long. We were thinking of enrolling him in t-ball at the YMCA, but when a friend told us how much they enjoyed our city's program and that her husband would be coaching and that Andrew's friend, her son, would be playing, we decided to go with the city t-ball.



Last night was his first practice. He was so adorable. He seemed to pay attention really well and knew where he was supposed to be. It was a great first experience!

Ooops. I think he missed that one. :)

More quilting

On Friday night I finished the top to my Soiree Stacked Coins quilt. I love how it turned out. I used bleached white Kona muslin for the sashing, but I didn't like working with it. It seemed a little too stretchy for my taste and resulted in a bit of rippling that I don't care for. I think it will smooth pretty well when I pin baste it and quilt it, but I'm not sure I'd use it again.



Then today I finished up the base squares for my Branch Birdies quilt. I will add white around each square before I put all the squares together. Of course, I think I'll skip muslin and go for the Quilter's Only Cotton at JoAnn's this time. I love these birdies. They are patterned after this quilt. When I saw this original quilt, I knew I had to get my hands on some of the bird fabric which is actually a crib sheet from Pottery Barn Kids. Got my precut squares off ebay. Love the way these turned out!
