wilted & underwater sisters

Whew! it seems we can't stay away from sickness this year. Leland, Emory & I contracted a bug and have been feeling all kinds of dreadful. My kids are troupers though and have smiled through the worst of it. Leland threw up all night tuesday night but was such a little man about it. Poor Emmy didn't really know what was going on. We are on the mend but i'm feeling pretty weak and i'm probably dehydrated. you know when you just don't want to eat or drink so it won't continue? that's me today.

before we knew about Joel's fracture and that he would be out of work i had ordered some lovely Heather Ross scraps to make small projects.
Here is the pieced and quilted bib, my first experience with bias tape:



i used a part of a vintage slip for the backing. It's a gift for my MIL's close friend's new granddaughter. It's so sweet i told Joel we needed to have another baby stat so i could keep it. he didn't quite follow my logic. Can't wait to make more!
i need to finish the binding on the baby Beck quilt but don't want to work on it while i'm germy.
all right! that's about all the blogging energy i have for today.
happy thursday!
