Pink brick quilt: DONE (completely this time)

This quilt is completely done now. It sat with the binding half sewn on for months but it's done now!

 Isn't the back adorable?? I did the whole thing except for actually grow and weave the fabric (or what ever you do to get fabric).

The quilt pattern is Another Brick in the Wall by Carolina Patchworks.

The backing fabric is red Letter Day by Lizzy House.

Why hadn't I ever thought of face painting at home???

The girls LOVE this (why????) and it can be used as a reward.

Here's Emily with her new Toothless Dragon and her face painted. 

  

This is the 1st year in I don't know how many that I spent New Years (the actual clock-strikes-12 part) standing next to Jon. Because I'm the mom I apparently have to stay with the kids and miss the parties. Because I'm not the one who can put away 8 - 16oz beers, I have to stay home with the kids. Because I want my husband to have fun and I just can't seem to ask him to stay home, I have to stay with the kids. But not this year! We don't know anyone here so Jon had to stay home! If I could spell the nasty laugh I just did I would:) Guess how we rang in the new year? Watching Dexter (the 1st season for the 1st time!!). We were so into it that we didn't notice it was about 4-5 minutes after midnight and LOTS of fireworks were going off. I kept thinking, in the back of  my mind, damn the neighbors are loud! Then I looked at the clock and said, oh my god, it's after new years! That just figures, you know? 1st time I can actually kiss my husband when the clock strikes 12 and we miss it.. On the bright side, Dexter is good!! I know we're super late on this but we just never got around to renting it.

Pink Bricks

Quilt is Another Brick in the Wall from Carolina Patchworks. Started 4 months ago and finally quilted right before we left for San Diego. I didn't get a photo of it quilted but it is hanging in the store for a while so you can see it there.

It's about Twin size. I started out following the pattern (in terms of how the rows are arranged) but towards the end I was so tired of this quilt I just threw them together. You can't tell though.

Fabrics are all random from my stash. These are not scraps! I own at least a 1/4 of a yard of these fabrics. Sad, huh? Jon's worried about how much my fabric will weigh when we move. Because you know we are only allotted 11 thousand pounds! or something like that.

I will post again when I have bound the edges. I will definitely post when I bind it becasue you have to see the backing!
