Easter Weekend

We had a fairly eventful Easter weekend. With the kids all "adults" and away from home there isn't any Easter Egg hunting anymore. We did have everyone over for dinner on Saturday night though. We had a very nice turkey dinner this year. Andrew and Anri, Eric and his friend Dusty and Jessica (who is in town for the weekend for her girlfriend's stagette) and her girlfriend Danielle ( the bride to be). So we had quite the group for dinner.

Jenny, who has never barked, decided there was something evil lurking in the backyard this weekend and would not go into one corner of the yard. She also decided whatever was evil needed to be barked at from the deck during dinner. So all in all -- Easter this year was noisy if nothing else.

Andrew's girlfriend, Anri, is wondering if I can teach her to sew a summer dress and maybe also learn a bit of quilting. Her and I looked through my fabric cupboard and she was right away drawn to my collection of Amy Butler fabrics -- I think she might make a good quilter!




I did some more on the 4 patch Chocolat charm square table quilt. I am putting the little sashings in. The sashing is just 1/2 inch finished. I think it was a good idea, I really like the look of this quilt and it will look great finished and on the table.

Well, I am off to work for the next couple of days. We had the turkey on Saturday because I work Monday and I hate making a big meal the night before I have to work. I went for a job interview on Thursday - it went well and a big decision will be made by Tuesday I think. I think changing jobs is more stressful than getting married! Wish me luck.

  6. The sashing looks great! Will you do a border around or just finish with a binding?
    Good luck with your job search!

  8. Your Chocolat charm squares are looking beautiful. I'm going to have to pull some charms later and do a setting like this - it's really great, Pam.

  9. I like the sashing -- it is just enough. I have a Prayer Shawl in progress out of charm squares; did sashing around each one. It was like ENOUGH ALREADY. Your clustering them in fours is excellent.
