Happy Thursday!
I'm shockingly busy these days. But that's the way I *love* it, so I really can't complain! I'm heading for Cleveland this weekend. I'll be on the set of Scrapbook Soup (can't wait to see the new set!) all next week. I'm hoping to blog from the road, but we'll see how that goes….
In the meantime here is a quilt I completed recently (isn't my Mom so cute being a human quilt holder?):
I say completed because I made most of it about two years ago when one of my best friends had a baby. It's for her son, who is now two. She came to town recently and her visit compelled me to finish up the project. A bug quilt seemed really appropriate for a little boy.
I even stitched some bugs into the quilt's border:
The day I handed it over to my friend and her son, he was sporting a temporary tattoo of a beetle on his wrist! What a fantastic coincidence, right?!
And now that it's done I've got to start working on two more quilts. Two of my husband's sisters have just had their first babies! (I'm a first time aunt!) Two little boys and I've done my drawings for their quilts. I just need to get stitching! Hopefully I'll be able to send them the quilts sooner rather than later!
Thanks for stopping by!

PS: I'm pleased to say that I'm a part of The Museum of Modern Art aka MoMA's permanent collection. Sort of. I recorded a thirty second video several years ago with artist Thilo Hoffman. Read my post about the experience here. Anyway, the video is on their website right here. I admit it's nerdy, but I got rather a big kick out of putting my name in the search box and actually coming up with something on the MoMA website!
Congrats Aunt Julie! If the quilts you design for your nephews are anything like this fabulous bug quilt, they’ll be treasured forever! Love it!!
And I think the MoMA connection is pretty cool! My husband was there yesterday to hear a colleague speak. He called me to say he had 10 tickets good only for that day and I did I know of anyone who could use them. AFTER we spoke I thought of you and figured you could probably have come up with a way to distribute the tickets to have them happily used! Oh well!

Ok, that quilt is delicious and disgusting and a treasure! LOL! I love the detail and the colors on that giant bug! I can imagine the little recipient spending quiet times studying all the details and tracing them out with a little pudgy finger. Love! And congrats, Auntie J!
