A Picnic in the Park

Rick happened to have Friday off this week. It coincided with my last weekday of not working. We decided to enjoy the time together and be out of the house. We ran some errands, had some work done on his car and went for a picnic in the park.
Check this out, it was Rick's idea for the picnic. He wanted to break in the picnic quilt I made over the winter. We bought Quizno's and headed to the park. There was no one around, other than some guy walking laps around the park. We were able to listen to the babble of the fountain there along with the wind and birds.
Unfortunately, I left my camera plugged into my computer the night before so I wasn't able to take many photos.
We did have such a wonderful time though being outside enjoying nature and each other's company.

Quilts

Last year I learned how to quilt...kind of. I have a friend who brought a picnic quilt to church in September. It was alternating jean and other fabrics. I decided I wanted to make one. Rick went with me and we bought a sewing machine, a cutting board and roller cutter and I embarked upon my quest to make a quilt. It didn't take too long to sew it. I finally tied it one day in January. Then just last week, yes in April, I put on the boarder. And here is my final result.
While creating my picnic quilt I decided to make some baby blankets. I also finished them just last week. I now have one blue and one pink Peter Rabbit quilt with minkie on the back. I have tucked these away until we have a child and can put it in their crib. They are special blankets for our unborn child that come from my heart. They aren't perfect but they are made with love.
