sewing with Mom

About a week ago I packed up my bags and headed to Phoenix to visit Mom & Dad (& my kiddos who live here too!). Today Mom & I decided to hang out in her sewing room and tackle a project (ok, maybe I decided & twisted her arm a bit? It's possible). 

I had been wanting to make a Raincheck mini quilt ever since I saw the free pattern here on Camille Roskelley's blog. Gotta love a great FREE pattern, right? So Mom & I got digging in her scraps and made this sweet mini without a single trip to the store! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing? 

Anyways, it was totally a team effort & I love the outcome. I'm leaving this one here at Mom's (in case it rains, you know, because it does that A LOT in Phoenix! Ha!) and I do think I'll make another when I get home for me. Fun! Also, I don't think I'll be able to resist buying the other Thimbleblossoms mini quilt patterns. They're just too cute.

In the meantime, I think you all should head on over there and download this pattern too. And make one up.... I'd love to see!
