Dee made Ty this apron, excuse me, BOY apron.
He is in love with it, he kept filling his little pocket with her M&M's.
Emmy getting in The Zone. She only stayed in "stretchy pants" all weekend so that I had company :)
Maddie with her mini charm pack all layed out, she sewed it all together, but I didn't get a picture of it, I am a terrible person. It is going to be a pillow one day, it's really cute.
I worked on this one block for 12 hours, I complained the ENTIRE time. I am pretty sure they wanted to throw me off the deck. I wanted to throw myself off the deck. I do not enjoy applique. I didn't even take a picture of the finished block, I was really over it. I only did it to finish up a quilt that I started like two years ago. It was a block of the month, so all the other blocks have been done for awhile, a long while. It was fun until it came to this block for the center and then putting it all together. Luckily Dee had also made this quilt, and finished it, so it was beyond helpful to have her around to help me. But by day three I was so burned out that I put it away and started on something else. Looking back I really wish I had stuck with it and gotten at least one thing done. Oh well, next year. (My family wants to stab themselves thinking about enduring it again next year. I better get it done, or lost, before then.)
Emmy's stack. She cut for the entire 12 hours I worked on the dreaded block,
she complained slightly less, but only slightly.
Audrey tracing her Turtles.
Her Turtle fabric, I was extremely jealous.
I have always wanted to make something with Batiks, hers were gorgeous.
Audrey finished this quilt that she had already been working on, it is GORGEOUS!
This picture is terrible, it does not even come close to doing it justice.
Audrey and Dee's work stations, and the cute pin cushions I made for everyone. I found the tutorial on Make it Love it, they were really easy, and super cute!
Dee was working on these big appliqued flowers, She got them all sashed and sewed together, but I didn't get a picture of that either... sigh. But trust me, VERY cute.
There was a hot tub on our deck. LIFE SAVER, Ty and Maddie were in there like three times a day.
(also, check out our awesome view!)
Frozen Margarita, also known as Manna. The only food I did take a picture of,
only because I was eating so fast I got a brain freeze and had to stop for 5 seconds.
This was what I did after I gave up on my first project, yeah, I didn't finish it either, boo.
I did get all my blocks layed out, but I was too tired to finish, it was 12:30am.
Dee was also working this farm applique quilt, it was so cute we could hardly stand it. She schooled us, she got a ton of stuff almost done. I think she didn't finish anything just to make me feel better.
Audrey finished her turtle quilt too. She is awesome. It is amazing, we were all drooling over it.
One of Emmy's blocks. They are Camille Roskelley's pattern Swoon, and swoon we did.
This trip will go down in history, just like every year. We had so much fun and really the best part was just being together and laughing, talking and being best friends. I am so grateful for these women. They mean more to me than I can even express. They are an answer to prayers and I will never be worthy of the love and acceptance they have for me. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be a part of this family. I have been home for 24 hours and I already can't wait for next year. Let the countdown begin....
