Spring spotting

"Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps."

-Charlotte Brontë

More quilting...

I have said many times about how much I love making baby quilts and the same could be said for knitting baby clothes. I chose to do both for the newest baby in my life and I am so happy about how they turned out.
The sweater is SO teeny, it's made for just the first 6 weeks of a baby's life and this baby is a preemie so it will probably fit for longer!
I can't wait to deliver this little gifts to Baby Gus!

You win, Anonymous

Hello! I wasn't sure when/if I would get the pull to start blogging again but a well-timed comment from one of you turned out to be just what I needed. So you can thank that Anonymous person! I've thought about the comment for the past couple days and then suddenly found myself picking up my camera and actually taking pictures (yes, since I stopped blogging I also stopped taking pictures!) and then I thought about sharing them here. And so I thought I'd better just do it. So, here we go!

The above photo is a perfect still of what our apartment currently looks like. Zoe is almost finished exams and we are both working on quilts. Some days there is fabric, thread, patterns and pins (if I'm sewing!) everywhere. It's quite the scene. A rare few have seen the apartment in its natural 'quilting' state and it can be quite frightening. Zach has said to us before "HOW can you live like this??" We manage but we desperately need a quilting room!

I hope you are all doing well and I have a feeling that you'll be seeing a little more action around here now!
