The Gebhardt Family

What better place to take family pictures than in your own back yard. My friend's husband completely designed and build their backyard and let me tell you... After taking pictures for the Gebhardt family, I longed for a beautiful backyard like theirs. It is so beautiful and serene. These were last pictures I took with my old camera before I sold it.

Kayzlie's Quilt

I recently finished a quilt for my newest niece. Actual quilting time technically took me 3-4 weeks. But really with breaks, my real timeline was from July to September. The design of this quilt (herringbone) was simpler, but also more modern. After so many colors in the last quilt I had completed, my eyes needed a little break. Thus there is a lot of white in this quilt and I absolutely love it! I used only online tutorials to help me guess at the design and then used my own measurements to get it to fit onto a toddler bed. I made the bias tape (yellow edge) by myself this time and I love how that feature turned out. 

Enough dialogue, I'll let you see the final product now.  I wish I had pressed it before these pictures, but I finished hand hemming the bias tape on the drive over to deliver it... in the passenger seat.
