The Weekend Wrap-up

 

 

It was a busy weekend … but a great one!

 

It started slow … there wasn’t much on the agenda for Friday, so I was able to spend a good part of the day quilting.

I cannot count my day complete
'Til needle, thread and fabric meet.

Saturday was the summer swim regional championships … the top 6 swimmers in each event at each conference championships qualified to swim … and T#1 made the cut.  He finished 2nd (a very close second, mind you!) on 3 of his 4 events, cutting time off his previous bests on all 4 events … he ended the day tied for 2nd place overall.

It was a great day watching him swim … and his brother and sister enjoy themselves too.

A friend of T#3’s joined in the tree climbing fun.

 

Sunday, we celebrated T#3’s birthday.  That little guy is the biggest bundle of energy and the has the sweetest heart … and when I remember what we went through 7 years ago, I can’t help but praise God.

Even though the weekend was busy, I did manage to get some more stitches in DD’s chevron quilt.

Even an hour or two every day can add up!  I’ve got a lot to do today … but I certainly intend to make time for some quilting. 

 

Hope you all are able to make some time for something you enjoy!

  2. Love the quote - it is exactly how I feel. Great pictures of the grandkids! Children are drawn to trees just as are cats to quilts!

  12. Dear Kathy, I so enjoyed seeing these family pics and girl, just got to say your quilting stitches are perfectly sized and spaced. Oh my but you are good!!!! Again, I think you could give me lessons. My quilt was on the wall last week and will stay there probably for a couple of days, but I'm itching to get back to it.
    Hope you have a great evening.
    Hugs, Noreen

  14. Well, 2nd place is just right under 1st place, so congratulations to T #1.

    Love the chevron quilt. I think I'm going to have to use some chevron in my new house.

    Have a great week!
