Welcoming . . .

August Miles Jackman
August Miles Jackman
born May 15, 2015
8 lbs 9 oz, 21 inches

Early Friday morning I woke up after my water broke.  After a rushed trip to the hospital, this little guy was born 13 hours later.  
August Miles Jackman
He has lots of dark brown hair and a bad case of jaundice, so we are currently spending lots of time sunbathing.
August Miles Jackman
While I was in labor we managed to narrow the name options down to 3 choices and once he was born, August felt like the right one.  It is a family name on my husband's side that I really felt attached to.  Miles doesn't have any particular significance other than the fact that we liked it :)
August Miles Jackman
So far he has been really good at sleeping during the day screaming at night, though that seems to be getting a little better. 

I will definitely not be doing as much sewing for a while, but I can't imagine that I will be able to completely stay away, so expect to hear from me a little more sparingly over the next few weeks.

    Awww, just awwww. My husband and I are trying to work out a name before our son arrives (in early Sept.) because I'm afraid our kid will be Umm Dunno Warrick if we hope to finalize a decision at the hospital. It seems babies are good at switching up day and night. I suppose it comes of kicking around in the womb when mom is being still, and napping while she's being active. Best of luck squeezing in some sewing, though your recent accomplishment justifies some less productive time; that's for sure.

    Congratulations on your, not so little, bundle of joy and welcome to the world of sleepless nights. We have great grandchildren now, but I still remember what that was like, but it won't last too long and I truly think that it's a required condition for all new parents. He is a beautiful baby, with gorgeous dark hair and he will grow up way too fast, so enjoy everything, even the middle of the night screaming. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net

What Shade Are You? Blog Hop & Giveaway

Image
A few weeks ago RJR Fabrics contacted me to see if I was interested with working on a project using their solids.  I checked out their colors and was pretty smitten so I said yes. And they exceeded my expectations.  I mixed them in with some of the prints from Rashida Coleman Hale's new Mochi collection .  Since Cotton + Steel is actually a division of RJR fabrics, the RJR solids coordinate perfectly with the collections. The RJR Cotton Supreme Solids have a great selection of pinks (I think good pinks are the hardest to find) and my favorite is actually the neutral-y brown Driftwood color that I used for the binding.  It might not be cool to love brown, but I do, and Driftwood (color 297) will be filling a void in my stash.   The quilt looks more complicated than it actually is: each of the diamonds is made up of 2 triangles (so there are no y-seams) and I cut the fabric with my  favorite triangle ruler .      I didn't want the quiltin...
