I Love Thursday #37

This is our 37th post of things we love for the week.  We post these loves each Thursday along with LeeAnna on her blog at Not Afraid of Color.  Several additional friends also share on a weekly basis – be sure to check them out.  You will surely find something to inspire you.

Thursday

Love #1

Quilting label!  I have to confess.  We do not label our quilts. ~hanging my head~  Go ahead; tell us all the reasons we should.  You may not be able to figure us for this misdeed, but I hope you can.  I am sharing the coolest idea I’ve ever seen for a label!  I follow Mary’s blog, Quilting is In My Blood.  She shared her latest finish with this label that includes the link to her blog post about the quilt.  I love that idea!!  Visit her post for all the details but may just be the inspiration to get us labeling.  Maybe.

 

Great label idea!

Love #2

New garden gloves!  A friend from work ordered a pair of these gloves (Amazon link – no affiliation) for Sue and I.  They have hard plastic tips on the end of each finger, rather like claws.  I gave them a try when doing some planting and they work great!  Usually I get dirt under my nails even when wearing gloves, which drives me nuts.  No dirty nails with these gloves, and I didn’t need to use a shovel for digging.  I can’t thank Kimee enough, and I highly recommend them.  I might recommend getting them for only one hand . . . but maybe not.  I don’t know – I used both of them but it was hard to get the plant out of the pot.  You could always use a regular glove on the other hand based on which hand you might dig with.

Love #3

Sue and EQ8.  Sue is really rockin’ this software.  She’s been working her way through all the different lessons.  One of them is a little alphabet appliqué block that we will just have to make for a certain baby mentioned in Love #6.  I mean seriously, D is for doggie.  Who can pass that up??  Can’t you just see the little puppy print fabric as sashing around the letter?!  Anyhoo – this makes me think we will absolutely have some rockin’ free patterns available later this year.  With more than six months to go in the year, that’s plenty of time to get some patterns ready right?!

Love #4

Charlie and Snoopy!  A friend posted this on Facebook because it reminded her of a really good friend that had been gone for a few years.  Aww, it is a sweet little sentiment for all of us perhaps.  I love the friendship between Charlie and Snoopy.

Love #5

Baby pools!  Dominic has a baby pool which is fitting since he is still a baby.  I seem to have a hard time remembering he is only nine months because he is such a big boy in some areas.  With his new pool he really needed some swimmer diapers, because without them he weighs 100# according to his mother.  Who knew that extra absorbent diapers would absorb ALL the water in the pool.  So to Target we ran to pick up the appropriate sized swimmer diapers, and thankfully they had them IN STOCK.  One happy baby and one happy momma is a win/win.  Did I mention lately that we love this baby?!

    I need a pair of those gloves – I spent most of the day in the garden and had those dirty nails!!! Yep, I can vouch for absorbent diapers – they perform as advertised!!!

    1. I do not label either…shame on me but by the time it’s time to label I am DONE with the quilt. and where does it go, and how to attach it…yeah, you get it. 2. Those gloves are marvelous and perhaps I will save them for halloween after planting season! HAHAHA. 3. When is Sue coming to my house to show me how to use EQ 8? I’ve been waiting with great patience but a girl can only wait so long! 4. love that cartoon. Snoopy always has great wisdom. Always. 5. THAT KID IS ADORABLE! thanks for things to love. It’s nice to have some happy stuff to think about, no?

    Quilt labels. Gotta love them. 🙂 I have now made little strip ones to at least put my name and date on little projects. Those look like great gloves!

    Hi Roseanne & Sue ….

    I have a quilt my grandma made & I suspect it was a wedding gift for my parents … but with no label – I have no idea if my best educated guess is correct.

    SEW, No forgiveness from me! 🙂 You both need to start labelling your quilts. Period. No excuses. You work together on them … put both your names on them. Just go and buy a fabric pen and write with it. Tuck it in the corner when you’re binding. Easy. Peasy! You don’t need an embroidery machine or anything fancy!

    I do like the idea of putting the URL of the blog post that talked about the quilt.

    SEW … will a see a label in the near future? (Either that – or are you going to UN-friend me?) 🙂

    Happy Quilting and LABELLING!!! 🙂

    Dominic is so cute in the baby pool! My niece and nephew (6 and 4) still love their backyard splash pool, it’s great for the hot days when you can’t make it to the public pool. I got in it with them a few weeks ago, but I took up quite a bit of space….

  6. I love those garden gloves – what a great idea! I like that label idea, too. I am also pretty hit or miss about labeling my quilts, and should remember this one! A pool to play in is an essential part of summer! I didn’t know they made swimmer diapers – also a great idea!

    Hi all and especially hugs to you Dom! You look so grown-up in that pool! I LOVE that label idea (I don’t label either). Have a great week!

    puppies like baby pools too! those gloves look terrific!

  9. The corner label is my favorite way to make labels — I’m lazy :). I just ordered the gardening gloves!
