This year instead of traveling we decided we needed a vacation at home to do the things we love to do and never have time for. We all have our hobbies (my husband loves to work on old cars and my son never has time to play the video games he has collected) so we decided to spend a week together, but doing the things we each enjoy doing. This has been very nice so far because our meals are spent talking about what we are working on and everyone is very relaxed, which isn't that the point of a vacation anyway?!?! :)
This quilt is for my niece who was born in January. When I saw this pattern here called the One Block Quilt I knew it was the one for her. I am using flannels because of course nine months out of the year it is cold in Minnesota, and I also wanted a little larger quilt because babies grow so quickly. My plan is to get this quilted this week, and I am hoping to share something fun I'm using for the backing (we will see how it works before I share it with you). I have a lot of applique to work on tonight for another quilt, and hopefully I will have more of that to show soon too. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

Love the staycation. WE so often run around so much trying to get the most out our vacation away that we'd need a vacation to recover from the vacation! The baby quilt is very sweet - just perfect for a new little girl.
What a great idea to just stay home and all do what you like....love the baby quilt...
What a great block! and your staycation sounds perfect. And you even got to sleep in your own beds at night.
what a great way to spend a week! I'm quite jealous, here at work! Love that quilt block.
i have had that, a awful feeling
