Kolbie's quilt top is finished, and now I need to get it basted and quilted. First step will be to watch the video on basting with the boards again, and then when I get that done, I have 6 tops to baste including this one and the one that I made for my 3 year old granddaughter. After that, I will need to watch the DVD that I bought on machine quilting and see if I can do better than last time on my FMQ'ing. 
Isn't Kolbie a cutie. My favorites are the one where she looks like she's about to cry, and the one after it where she is asleep on her mama's hands.
My daughter called this morning, she Tabitha and Micah were out doing errands and wanted to know if DH and I would like to meet them for lunch. We did, I had a very good salad with grilled chicken, cranberries, pecans and feta cheese, and we enjoyed the outing and the company. When we got home I was a little disappointed not to see my package for the DD fabrics for Bonnie Hunter's latest mystery, and then when I opened the screen door the package tumbled out. DH and I liked them all, his favorite is the dark blue in the top corner, and I think that they, along with some scraps that I will probably add in, will look nice together. I hope so anyway. I'm not a patient mystery doer, so even though I haven't started yet, I have looked at all the clues, and I must say, I think it is a pretty one. I wasn't so sure about my Orange Crush, and now I love it, so I think this one will be a favorite right away.
I have a full sized laptop computer, but I have been very tempted to get one of the little 9.8 inch, 2 pound Acer's. It seems like it would be nice to have to carry around the house and to take anywhere that I might go. I was wondering if anyone has one and if they like it. It's hard being a gadget person, and being enticed by technology. The one I am interested in is here.

What a cutie Kolbie is, they are lovely photographs. And what a lovely quilt for her already. I can't help you much with the computer. We looked at the really tiny ones when Christopher needed a new one, but Oliver wasn't too keen on them - he thought they wouldn't have much memory. Apart from that I know nothing of them. I agree though, it would be fun to carry one around the house. I'm not doing the mystery yet, as I've plenty to be getting on with. I look forward to seeing yours though - I haven't even peeked at the finish yet.
What beautiful pictures of Kolbie
Love and hugs Gina xx
What a beautiful baby Kolbie is!
I just wanted to kiss her little cheek!
I couldn't cope with a tiny laptop as my old eyes would get too strained.....lol.....
Have fun with your mystery.....
take care
The little collage of Kolbie's baby pictures is just precious. I really like your strippy too--what fun fabrics! I'm not doing Bonnie's mystery either, but I really like the design alot, and your fabrics will be really pretty.
What a beautiful baby!!!
I have a small laptop with a SMALL screen and sometimes reading blogs is hard work and you miss lots of detail!
Are you talking about Sharon Schamber's video with the boards? I have that video but have just gotten the two boards and haven't tried basting it yet. I'll be curious to see how yours comes out. blessings, marlene
Kolbie is an adorable baby and such a cute quilt you made.
Adorable little one....looks like a strippy quilt like I make...easy and turns out so nice...Maine
Such a cute baby and I love her quilt. I followed the link to look at the computer you want and read some of the reviews. I think it would be well worth the money; I will keep that in mind the next time I want a new computer. An external cd/dvd drive can't cost that much now cant it. Besides, you have another computer right that has that feature. I think it would be a great second computer.
Candace, your fabrics look gorgeous!
I probably won't be starting to cut my fabrics till next week - need a new cutter blade.
It will be good to have someone sewing the same steps.
