Kairo at 8 months

Love this “little” guy! I say little in quotations because he is now over 70 lbs!

So not so little at 8 months old, but still very much a puppy! (This next photo makes me laugh, because he totally got all crazy when he realized he could splash around in the water – it totally shows what a puppy he is still :)

A very large work in progress

I think that title about sums it up :)

The continuing sewing room/office project. I absolutely love, love, love the wall color – the grey is so beautiful & looks crisp against the white trim (some of which is in & some will be added). We are a little further along than these photos show, although I am having some trouble deciding on some of the details (that I really thought I had decided on until I went to the store)… I just thought it would be fun to show the in betweens of this project. I promise to share a big reveal when it is all finished of course :) Getting so excited!

Seattle Modern Quilt Guild

Last Saturday I managed to make it to the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild Sew In. It had probably been about 2 years since the last one I went to, so there were a lot of faces that were new to me. It was fun though to meet all the women who have become a part of it & spend some time sewing and quilting. Since my sewing room is still in progress getting out of the house is about the only way I am quilting right now. Of course having a puppy who needs a lot of exercise, plus my own business also limits my quilting a bit ;)

I tend to have a short attention span when it comes to sewing & quilting projects, so of course I brought a couple to work on… A purse I am making for a dear friend who is moving away…

The circles quilt I am making my sister…

I finally have all the circles finished, so now I am working on piecing & quilting all of them together. The best part about making it to the sew in was that I had space to lay out all the circles & plan the order/design.

Of course I had to get some photos of the beautiful projects some of the other ladies were working on…

Hopefully it won’t be another two years before I make it to another sew in, but being in another guild as well & having so much going on in life does make it a bit difficult to get to these. If you are in Seattle & looking for a great group of women to quilt with, definitely take a look at the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild. It is a great group!
