Baby Quilt



This is my latest baby quilt. I should say OUR latest.  Calista helped me with this one.
It's a "Three Sisters" charm pack (3 of them).  I split them in half and offset them in vertical rows.
I got the idea and the applique from a book called "Some Kind of Wonderful".

The Label.

Calista showing the back.  It's a Robin Pandolph fabric.  We also used that as the borders on the front.

The little recipient, Bella Sue.  Calista is holding her and that's her Mommy, Jessie (the baby's mommy haha) in the background holding the quilt.  It made us feel really good to hear Jessie SQUEEL with delight when she unwrapped the quilt.

36 years of marriage

Yesterday was mine and Tim's 36th wedding anniversary.  Our daughter, Andrea posted some really sweet stuff about us on her photography blog.  Thought I'd share it: http://www.amurphyphoto.com/blog/happy-university-mom-dad-tulsa-photographer

A few more

Even though the summer has been extremely busy, I've managed to get some more of these done:

This one is # 12, which means I'm halfway done with the blocks!

Chocolate cookies!!!!

Please help me!  Someone posted a recipe for Chocolate Cookies that are like brownies only in a cookie form a while back.  I made them and they were delicious.  But...alas...I didn't save the recipe.  Now I'm having a cookie attack and I NEED that recipe!  Anyone, anyone....Please.
