Pez-O-Rama

I have another Moda Bakeshop quilt to present.....

Pez-O-Rama

 I just love this quilt! It's perfect for a beginner quilter that wants to attempt that first "large" quilt!

 This bad boy measures 90.5"x102"! I tend to try to make larger quilts because 1) Trav like to tuck the blanket it in at the end of the bed, so his feet are covered and 2)I just don't have many quilt for my bed!  It seems like I am making so many quilts but none for my bed!

 I love how bright and happy this quilt is! I love the colors and as soon as I saw it, I knew that I had to make something with these colors!

If you want to know how to make it, go to the Moda Bakeshop and check it out! I love the Moda Bakeshop! I always go over there to find what everyone else is making and then decide on what quilt that I want to make too!

Lady Bug Kimball

Kimball came home the other day dressed as a Lady Bug! He was so darn cute!

I just love the school that he goes to! They do so much for him and for our family! Giant Steps Autism Preschool rocks!

Dinosaur Museum Field Trip

Last month I was able to go on a field trip with Kimball. This is my fourth time attending this particular field trip. I always enjoy it and as do my boys. Since Brandon is home schooled now, I took him with me so that he could enjoy the field trip as well.

**Looking at these pictures, it makes me wish I had either a better camera or that I was a better photographer! 

 At the beginning of the trip they talked about what they could and could not touch...this was a thing they "could" touch. Kimball told me every time we saw one!

 Kimball and his friend in his class.

 This museum has a little cave that they can walk through...I have a picture like this of all my boys around this age from each of their field  trips! I will have to put them all together and look at them....

 Brandon had fun during the field trip and took his DS so that he could take pictures too. I have no idea what type he got but he was constantly taking pictures!

 I think Kimball was on a "silly high" because he was so excited that I was there and just happy to be around dinosaurs!

 Brandon was really good and posed for me a lot!

 There is also a place where they could play in the water and sand and dig for little toys and whatnot. Kimball liked it, but was ready to move on really soon.

 I was told that Kimball wanted one of these for a pet...which led to a week's discussion from all the boys as to which dinosaur would make the best pet and which one they wanted.

 Kimball was getting tired and so this is his "grumpy" and "I'm not going to smile" look. Just a moment later he started to smile!

 Then we moved on to the last part of the museum where they could dig for dinosaur bones!

 The boys really like this part! I think this is what they think being a palaeontologist would be like.

Afterwards of course we had to go to the gift shop and Brandon used the last of his Birthday money to buy stuff and then each boy got a small stuffed dinosaur. They love them and sleep with them all the time now! My little dinosaur boys!

Another Quilt Top Done

This past weekend I enjoyed watching the LDS conference on the computer! Have to LOVE technology for allowing us to stream it off the internet! It was wonderful to spend the weekend listening to our inspire leaders share their testimony and wisdom with us!

As always I like to sew during General Conference. I had bought some charm packs a while ago and decided to use them. (I would have quilted quilts but I am having issues with my Juki yet again!) So I make a quilt using this awesome design from the Moda Bakeshop! I have made it before and wanted one for myself!

 I love how the gray looks with this line! I forget what it's called though and have already thrown away the wrapper! But I just love the colors!

 For the middle sashing area, I used the scraps from making the points on the stars, I really like the effect that it brings to the quilt! Because trust me...I wanted to use ALL of the fabric!

Before I baste and quilt it, I was thinking of putting a border around it, to finish it off as well as to make it a little bigger. I don't know why I always want my quilts bigger, but I do.
