Merry Christmas Family Photo

Here is the pic we took to take to costco for a Christmas card. I love looking at photos that I get, and this year, we  even slipped David and myself (got out of my pjs and cleaned up!) in with the boys. The boys are all grown now, Kyle, even living in house at the beach with some friends, lucky guy, but I figured we could do one or two more family pics before they get married.

And the boys doing their version of the model pose.

The water was a little chilly

Primitive Gatherings- Itty Bitty Pinwheels

Here is my version of Itty Bitty Pinwheels Mini Quilt by Primitive Gatherings with their  1 and 1/2 inch pinwheel template.

The blocks finish at one inch and the Pinwheels are a little larger than a quarter.

I did a free form layout that I saw on Tiramisue's blog with regular sized Tessellating Pinwheel Quilt. I love her artistic quilts, thanks!

First: pieced 2 & 1/2 inch squares

After cutting squares with Template at intersections and resewing!

I got my pattern with template at  Fat Quarters Quilt Shop, Vista CA where I work part time.
