Working Again!

Today I got back to work on a new project for the first time since our move.  It really felt good to be creating again.

So what is it you say?  Well here's a peek.

It starts with one of Vicki's gorgeous hand dyed gradients...in this case "Citrus"



and then I added this



and this



and more.  I loaded it all on the frame with quilters Dream Select cotton on the bottom and dream wool on the top.

Tomorrow I start quilting.   It will be the first time I have turned on the longarm since moving...keep your fingers crossed it still works!

It really feels so good to get back to creating...like maybe I'll make it through the sadness after all!

 

Of course it doesn't hurt that we'll be getting our new baby May 8th.  I'll leave you with photos of his Mom, Dad and our lastly, our new baby.

First is  mother...her name is Cherokee



Next is Dad...his name is Sebastian



And last but most important of all, is our new baby, who is nameless until we get him home and see what his little personality tells us what his name should be.



I think Harry would approve.  And I know Chloe will be so happy to have the company, and we are grateful to have a new little boy to love.
