busy bee.

I have been very busy making lots of cute things lately.
I finished the quilt the other night!



I was scared to try sewing the binding on with a machine because the last time I did that it looked soooo bad. It's like Im not coordinated enough to sew and check both sides at the same time :) Instead, I hand sewed all of the binding the way my mother-in-law taught me :) Her way looks so nice!!
She rocks :)
and so does my new Spring Quilt!
love.
Ok, and here are some more art journal pages for my class!
Thoughts on be an art teacher:


This page, I did, to share the fact that I love quilting again :)


and here is another one that isn't quite finished yet. I used a piece of vintage fabric on this page and some washi tape. I love it right now but I definitely want to add a picture on here and a little tiny bit of words....we'll see.

Edited: Here is what I ended up doing with it :)

and finally, here are some better pictures of my last two pages that I shared with you :)


The rest of my time has been spent getting ready for my garage sale Saturday and playing with Picasso! love that little guy!!
Ok, my lunch break is almost over so I better get back to work!
love you friends :)

  2. i really love your quilt!
    im starting to make my own, but I have a question for you (because i've never made a quilt before).
    Did you just sew all of the blocks on rows, and then sew the rows together ??
