100 Wishes Quilt Update

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. I got together with my mom, my grandma, and our family friend Flo to discuss Lia's 100 Wishes Quilt. Thus far, I have roughly 140 squares collected, so it looks like we will have enough to do both a full-size bed quilt and also a smaller "baby blanket" for Lia to play with and carry around. My mom has generously offered to take on the project of putting the quilt together. She seems really excited about it. She knows how to sew, but has never quilted. So yesterday we had lunch at the Issaquah Cafe, and then went back to my grandma's condo to looks at the squares, and discuss design and next steps for starting the quilt.


My grandma's cat, Sweetie was curious about what we were doing, and seemed interested in being social, yet when I tried to get a picture of her - she ran behind the dining room table. She definitely earns her name though :)


The view from my grandma's balcony is spectacular. Especially with yesterday's beautiful weather. You can't tell in this photo, but paragliders actually take off from one of the "bald patches" on the mountains across the way. It's fun to watch them float down from the sky into the meadows below.


Thanks grandma, mom and Flo for a very fun day!
