Let's start with the fact that tomorrow my son has to embark on a rabies vaccine regime, that includes 6 shots over 21days. All because he found a bat in the garage, he was out of my sight for 2 seconds, so I can't say with 100 % certainty that he didn't touch the thing. We let the damn bat go, because we didn't think anything of it. Hey, guess what the alternative is? Once someone shows any symptoms of being sick, there is NOTHING that can be done. So, better safe and broke (we have no health insurance at this point) than have a dead kid. Also, did you know you could get bitten by a bat and not even see any bite marks? yeah. I hate bats.
Today, we went to the park, and he fell and now has a black eye. Okay, that totally wasn't my fault, but still. Now I have to take a kid with a black eye in for shots.
Anyway. I've got some pictures of quilts to show you. To distract you from what an unfit mother I am.
Remember that Dream on Charm Pack I won? Well, here it is with some Kona Bone and some yellow from my stash. I backed it with flannel and quilted some wonderful straight lines a 1/4 of an inch or so away from all the seams. I love it, and I hope the little girl I gave it to loves it too. :)
Free motion loops. Not 100% perfect, but I love them anyway.
J is helping with the quilt photo shoot yet again. He's so freaking cute, how can you be mad at him? :)
This is the coin quilt I did, using 2 charm packs and 1 jelly roll. Fabric is It's a Hoot line and Kona Chocolate. I bound it in the yellow dot. That was the one Johnathan picked out. I backed it with a yellow sheet. It washed up so nice and soft. I used a light soft grey for the quilting. I think it turned out pretty spiffy.
So. If you think you think of us tomorrow around 10 am, that will be the time my son starts his shots. Wish us well.

Well now I know to avoid bats like the plague! I hope your little man does well through those shots! I don't know if your state has it, but a lot of states have free health care for kids...and some even "back pay" for things, maybe something to look into!
I looked up this post because I saw your gorgeous Dream On quilt, and I also have just 1 charm pack, and am looking for ideas, and yours sure is a beauty!
