Leap Frog Flannel Quilt

Earlier this spring I dug into my flannel bin, determined to clean it out and get the 15-30 year old fabric into quilts. I posted about the project HERE.

This is the first of those quilts...Leap Frog

The tan, speckled fabric isn't flannel, it's cotton, but it was perfect so I just threw it in.

Such a simple design - no pattern - I just tried to make the best use out of what I had. It finishes at 56" x 68".

I DID buy the Minky for the back though

Those frogs are absolutely delighted to have escaped into the wild after so many years and I'm fairly certain that it will accompany a particular little grandson on many adventures although June is not the best time of the year to cuddle with flannel. I'll save it for his birthday in November.

A Peek into Monday

 Soccer camp was a huge success

This little tike loved it!

She was super focused

At 8 in the morning, the mountain air is cool and crisp and perfect for learning the fundamentals

(I edited people and a big 18-wheeler out of these pictures so that's why these photos have a watermark about being AI generated. Not a fan of AI.)

I think someone is going to be disappointed when the week ends, but for now she is soaking it in

Well done little all-star!

My sister-in-law and I made a good team for the rest of the day. Someone is bound to ask about all the pie birds. My MIL has collected them for years and what you see is only half of them...there are just as many on the other side of the kitchen. They are cute, but get sticky.   We were tuckered out and practically melted, but my in-laws' house is now in pretty good shape. We tackled everything from windows to baseboards and bathrooms to pie birds and we managed to do it without being pruned from the family tree. 😉

The rest of the week promises to be filled with adventure so I'm going to channel my inner spring chicken and forage for the special moments that lie ahead. 

Father's Day Fish Fry

 We did this last year so I guess it's now a family tradition. So greatful each and every day for these amazing dads in our lives.

It warms my heart to have a house full of family. Fried fish, hush puppies, corn on the cob, okra, and cole slaw were on the menu

I had good help in the kitchen

Not the healthiest menu so I put out broccoli and carrots to tip the scale a bit. 😄 And radishes from the garden

Cherry Cheesecake Lush for the win.

I wish I had taken more pictures, but I got busy. Today I'm off to watch our granddaughter play soccer. She's 5. This should be interesting. 😁And then I'll go to my inlaws' and help my sister-in-law clean their house. They keep it 88-90 degrees inside so we're preparing to melt and we may fight over who gets to clean the outside of the windows just to escape the stiffling air inside. Wish us luck. 😉

The sneaky artist strikes again. 😂🥰
