Grassy Creek is a Flimsy and Hazel on the Antique Quilts from The Modern Diary

Decided to get out the antique quilts that my grandmother had made for her son in law's second wedding and last baby. I have told you the wild story on here before. So here is Hazel on my Uncle Rick's baby quilt.

Finally finished up the string borders and got them on (they fit perfectly!) Grassy Creek. I need to get a picture outside...we will see if it is sunny enough today. Snow is melted but things are still a bit wet. Sunshine immediately did her happy dance on top of it.

Here is Hazel on top ...

Grassy Creek String Borders in Progress from The Modern Diary

Hazel just turned five months old. She is the light of all our lives and I am so glad I get to see her so much! She will sit and watch me sew for a bit before she gets bored. Cannot wait to teach her to sew! She loves to look at quilts (they are everywhere here) and I hope that means she will want to be a quilter!

I have been playing more games. This is Obsession which is themed like Downton Abby--sort of. Really fun solo, but think I will like it even more with other players.

Aerion ...

Grassy Creek Center is Together! from The Modern Diary

Hazel and I made her Mama a birthday butterfly with her little feet. Hannah loved it! It was a nice surprise. Linking Up with SoScrappy!

Made my RSC Challenge block for February--Pine Tree Point in yellow. Hazel was here at the time so it took a long time to sew this one block!

My friend Andrea sent me this handmade card. So pretty, I had to share it and say Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

Finally got motivated and worked on Grassy Creek!

The entire center is together and I am happy about the colors. Next up ...

Grassy Creek Parts are Complete! from The Modern Diary

My sister Tina has apparently been Ambien shopping lately so I jokingly sent her my Amazon wish list. She responded by sending me Chrononauts and a book and movie for Hazel too I love this game and cannot get enough of it. It is about changing events in time and sending time travelers home. Really challenging and fun!

So for Valentine's Day I asked for more games. It is an illness! So I picked these out and they arrived yesterday. Have not played them yet but will soon!

Yesterday I finally sewed (after a week or so of nothing ...

Grassy Creek Clue F Musings from The Modern Diary

Grassy Creek's clue five was a doozy for me. Strings seem to take forever and get kind of boring for me after awhile. I made a few a few different ways and they were not looking too pretty! I discovered that I could cut off the tops (since I cut triangles to add on and not squares) with my Essential Triangle Tool.

Then after sewing the corners on in white I could use the little Quilt in a Day ruler to trim them to look nice...some needed some sliver cutting. I also realized I really did need to ...

Christmas with the Youngest and Mystery Quilts are Caught Up! from The Modern Diary

Two blog posts in one day since I cannot figure out how to schedule this one like I used to!

We went and saw Jay the day after Christmas. He liked his gifts and his stocking. While we were there we had pizza and played "The Game," "Blokus," (which he gifted us) and "Five Crowns," which is a long time favorite game.

My Once Upon a Time advent box came super late on Christmas Eve. Read two stories a day and opened my gifts. We got four books in the box! Really fun stuff.

Here is clue five of Grassy ...

Merry Christmas! from The Modern Diary

We spent Christmas Eve with my daughter and her husband and baby Hazel. They went home to his folks' home last weekend so they could keep it small. So Hazel finally met two more great grandparents and his parents had a chance to see her for the second time. Really keeping the circle small. So hard with a new little one, but we benefited as we got to spend the time with them. Tomorrow Kathy and I will go spend the day with my youngest (he is working the holiday) so seeing two out of there of my kids is ...

Geese on a String and Holiday Happenings! from The Modern Diary

Geese on a String progress happened between Grassy Creek Clues.

Bug had to pose with the first few rows.

And the flimsy is complete.

My November book box finally arrived and I read it right away. Still waiting on December and sadly, the advent box too.

Gudrun Erla did a video on December 15th for these Woven Heart ornaments, which remind me of Norway so I bought the supplies and had to make a few. This year only the kids and my Goddaughter will get one, next year maybe more folks. They are fun to make!

I am still working ...

Grassy Creek Clue Three, Grandbaby and More from The Modern Diary

Took me two days but I completed Grassy Creek Clue three. Looking forward to tomorrow's clue.

My brother and his wife sent us this little tree which is supposed to promote healing. It is so pretty and goes well on the bookshelf right by my favorite little hedgehog from Margarite!

I wish this ornament still worked...it made the most ANNOYING cheep, cheep, cheep, CHEEP, noise which I begged to listen to as a kid. It was on my Grandma Char and Papa DeLos' tree. They always hid it at the back, but I always remembered it and would ...

Grassy Creek Clue Two from The Modern Diary

Clue two for Grassy Creek is complete. Tiny little hourglasses. I went with the old rotary cutting method and with Barb's help we figured out the Math wrong. I did each step all the way through and it was not til I got to the put the HST's together to make the actual hourglasses that I realized I had made TWICE as many as I needed! So I stopped at that step with half of them and am crossing my fingers they come up in a future clue (HAHAHAHHAHH!) but if not, I will use them somewhere. Barb ...

Mysteries and More Mysteries from The Modern Diary

These are my fabric choices for Grassy Creek along with the cards I am using them for of Bonnie's. So where she has orange I have dark blue, etc. I went with what I have though I LOVE her colors this year.

Clue one is all ready except I should trim the dog ears off tonight. Next clue comes out tomorrow already! I love this time of year as I have so much to sew and have a high motivation to do it. With my fatigue it is nice to feel PULLED out of bed even for awhile.

I ...

All Good Things November! from The Modern Diary

Hazel is as happy as we are for a female Vice President! Herstory in the making! There were some tears at my house. I hope our country starts coming together again soon.

Still reading the Once Upon a Book Club boxes. Some of them I resell when I am done with them. They are a bit pricey but I really enjoy them so I am going to keep it up for now. The Halloween Spooky box above was really good and I will find and read more y that author. The Halloween Sweet box was too corny for me though ...
