As often happens to me, I intended to make a different quilt and made some errors that forced me to change course. I planned on making this quilt an X rather than a + but I cut the background wrong. Luckily, I don't think Jacob will mind! He's the third son of my brother's friends Jon and Anita - actually, no, they're my friends too! The back is delicious too - the softest polka dot fabric I've ever come across, some frogs, ikea number script, and apples! Here's the quilt I made <a href="https://thetinyhummingbird.blogspot.com/2019/12/a-quilt-for-zachary.html">for Zachary</a>, Jon and Anita's first son, <a href="https://thetinyhummingbird.blogspot.com/2021/04/small-star-quilt-for-isaac.html">and Isaac</a>, their second son.

Here are the quilts I made for <a href="https://thetinyhummingbird.blogspot.com/2018/04/beach-boy-quilt-for-carter.html">Carter in 2018</a> and <a href="https://thetinyhummingbird.blogspot.com/2020/06/tiny-tiles-quilt-for-aria.html">Aria in 2020</a>. This quilt for Caleb is a little random but I like it a lot. It's a mix of blues, browns, and grays on a Carolyn Friedlander gray on white grid background. I can't decide if I like the banana print or the bear print the most. The back is more of the CF grid with some fun button down shirts in the middle. I kind of want to make a button down shirt out of that print!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcnlksV5ptio6MaoWYfrM64VyHzlcP6eUSkHK9z91bHgl054vLQ3sLKmebtbADx2Q7WneHh3wwumGYztK2ZkbcU35aYgkHY6dwVFXe7z9-Xutb9LA7Ruqip6UboHvcOfIKuE13Qek6T05B5sKZdWRxaph5j1JbVbhZZv3Y2pO8fMDXQMbwOMRQBfrQ/s4032/IMG-2072.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I love how it looks vintage and somehow fresh at the same time. The original <a href="https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/scrappy-trips-around-world.html">pattern</a> is by Bonnie Hunter. I used lots of my favorite fabrics like Heather Ross apples, Annie Brady cacti, Denyse Schmidt dots, Rifle Paper Co. florals, cotton + steel stars, and Lizzy House cats. The back is a Melody Miller print paired with tiny pink polka dots.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white;">I thought this quilt was going to be a lot less vibrant than it turned out. I like it, but it doesnāt look the way I imagined it would. Itās always a little disappointing when my ideas donāt come together in the way I intended. Iām focusing on all the cute details instead - the strawberries, frogs, apples, flowers, butterflies, cats, pineapples, stars, blackberries, rainbows, and cactuses because I love them all. Hopefully Noa likes them too! </span></span>I don't remember what happened exactly but I think I was cutting it close on the backing and the binding didn't quite reach all the way around to cover the batting so I had to cut a small strip of strawberries to cover my mistake on the back. Whoops!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKgHbIyV-YMhdd2C4MtOOa5XKO7-H9hOwJRxJUJlwGHnhEH7e2TnBBE1mf8Ifhilwtz4h62_10yWb0Lb_fHxN5mEhWmObVN8_WDsyLOONPrae6eBSYE7a-GEgf_EV97AlBErugyTULsCzOUGoOYB8837OrfQfOSq8NcdMzfThnRvnzXLGU1jIrcMq-/s4032/IMG-1509.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I like to see all the quilts I've given away because sometimes I miss them! This one is in New Hampshire with my cousin Amanda's baby Walter. I used <a href="https://woollypetals.com/wash-your-paws-quilt/">this pattern</a> and so many of my favorite fabrics by cotton + steel, Carolyn Friedlander, Annie Brady, Lizzy House, and others. For some reason I don't have a photo of the back which is a bummer. I'll have to text Amanda to see if she can get one for me! The night I had Matt take these photos we were in Providence on a date by the pedestrian bridge. We had the most delicious pizza from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hotline_pizza/?hl=en">Hotline</a> with fresh basil and corn and then we got <a href="https://www.tizzyks.com/">Tizzy K's</a> ice cream, I think I got fruity pebbles.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to make for a while but one day when I was texting with Emily and I realized what the perfect quilt would be - <a href="https://wren-collectiveshop.com/products/kinfolk-baby-quilt-pdf-pattern">the kinfolk baby love quilt</a> by Wren Collective. I had bought the pattern a year or two ago because I loved it but hadn't made it yet. I knew Emily likes neutrals and after pulling lots of creams and tans from my stash I decided to add some green because she's a nature girl and I knew green would give the quilt an outdoorsy feel. I fussy cut a cute mouse family to include and did some stellar pattern matching on a little frog swimming hole party which I'm extremely proud of. I lined it up perfectly on the first try which has never happened before and will likely never happen again! I had so much fun choosing fabric combinations for this quilt and it came together really quickly which was a nice bonus. I finished it off with some smiling moons, jumping frogs, and a simple plaid on the back, and the binding is a scrappy mix of fabrics from the front. If I know Emily then Miles is probably already spending lots of time outside, lying on his back staring up at the clouds so he can wonder and dream, and I hope he's lying on this quilt. </p><p>P.S. Here's <a href="http://thetinyhummingbird.blogspot.com/2020/02/treasure-jars-quilt-for-emily-and-steve.html?m=0">the quilt I made for Emily and Steve</a> when they were first married. </p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-9233277695044636752022-07-26T11:23:00.001-04:002022-07-26T11:23:20.418-04:00little library | a quilt for Linnea<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKcAeuLnVG0JurGjIh_yyoo-PsT33XW6SOrKZkT4cmrPhI24oZ3dg6lCuWJbGdovwVXMmwOQyPFnzB8G0rCoo-P2FF9Kxtmq7gaJ-9rVDb61vS8H7V2R1ENACWEoarfhuKKjyGCQZOjVv_ctgx9tAPvdO2rnzXlXI4_7zsfW9ubPs4q7WxRTq2l0PE/s4032/IMG-5100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKcAeuLnVG0JurGjIh_yyoo-PsT33XW6SOrKZkT4cmrPhI24oZ3dg6lCuWJbGdovwVXMmwOQyPFnzB8G0rCoo-P2FF9Kxtmq7gaJ-9rVDb61vS8H7V2R1ENACWEoarfhuKKjyGCQZOjVv_ctgx9tAPvdO2rnzXlXI4_7zsfW9ubPs4q7WxRTq2l0PE/w480-h640/IMG-5100.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Iāve wanted to make a quilt using @katebastiās </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/670225583/tall-tales-quilt-block?click_key=67cdd86b447bab063bf47ca1faee7176eca99d53%3A670225583&click_sum=d4d2a1a2&ref=shop_home_active_4&crt=1">tall tales quilt block</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> for years and recently I had the perfect opportunity because I learned our favorite local librarian was pregnant with a baby girl. I had so much fun selecting fabrics to feature on the covers of the books, and while I made quite a few mistakes while piecing that I had to rip out and do again (for so many reasons - my paper piecing skills were rusty, I was interrupted because the kids were fighting, I was too absorbed watching @sexeducation on Netflix, I was sewing too late at night to see properly, etc.), this was still a really enjoyable quilt to make. But it will be the only time I make this quilt. I think. I donāt do well with really skinny pieces. Iām really happy with how it turned out, even the back, which I misjudged on one side and ended up having to cover a big piece of selvage that clashed with the rest of the back with a cute star print that matched the binding (photo). I hope Linnea dreams sweet dreams under this quilt, makes forts with it, has picnics on it, and that it keeps her warm and cozy for years to come </span><img alt="āØ" aria-label="āØ" class="an1" data-emoji="āØ" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/14.0/2728/32.png" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Also, big thanks to my friend Steph for taking these photos when I volunteered at her middle school library one day this past school year!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFsWM6MviHaKwLktd1Qfz_MulKVHwP5bNYGpKCJJ8sdrsPNbzbHSARJXutRPFC0rANRcmx5H5L1tZuaYn_nBsLdYTxCYeyNzoGoJSRL5rfPLg3xyV8XT9u03XIwESQnlGRXFR1l1XC0z3OyKbJQwDasEROx9pb-h-nC3Sg0wsuP26biR9WngF2LnP/s4032/IMG-5102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFsWM6MviHaKwLktd1Qfz_MulKVHwP5bNYGpKCJJ8sdrsPNbzbHSARJXutRPFC0rANRcmx5H5L1tZuaYn_nBsLdYTxCYeyNzoGoJSRL5rfPLg3xyV8XT9u03XIwESQnlGRXFR1l1XC0z3OyKbJQwDasEROx9pb-h-nC3Sg0wsuP26biR9WngF2LnP/w480-h640/IMG-5102.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixcNBzyYcCYwisC70kYCTKSvBn22zbWZdlvd2rJgZniR1-a2zf9brAuoPy_7q5FugfhdvVz_ppHO3OtAvKSEydKPiHWEjnYSC-5z1rbUG-xIQ-1FagmzPqMhK2edMpO34eTpkgFlkYyjL3s11H8S0MiHqHPBGosaxW7UYohquDSGK87eMgqCWQTxzF/s4032/IMG-7464.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixcNBzyYcCYwisC70kYCTKSvBn22zbWZdlvd2rJgZniR1-a2zf9brAuoPy_7q5FugfhdvVz_ppHO3OtAvKSEydKPiHWEjnYSC-5z1rbUG-xIQ-1FagmzPqMhK2edMpO34eTpkgFlkYyjL3s11H8S0MiHqHPBGosaxW7UYohquDSGK87eMgqCWQTxzF/w480-h640/IMG-7464.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-23025847335273986072022-03-28T11:48:00.003-04:002022-03-28T11:48:25.357-04:00Rey and BB-8 | a quilt for Raelyn<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgppf2j9ZA3Y5uUK__-tcnNbJZDvXUb5RxOm9RKmze-grJNTNRZ9-NpIKBKmTvv50ODpU8o5SASZz4_0M5qCX5LfClKfZo544DFA6MrTRk2bYwmj4gCdcjnYEu50oO-TOGB2hSomgSI3xjhJOSIS2XjpWa_slLKPk0fxLxY2p4CDjvsY24M3oXTZAkO/s2048/IMG-5530.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgppf2j9ZA3Y5uUK__-tcnNbJZDvXUb5RxOm9RKmze-grJNTNRZ9-NpIKBKmTvv50ODpU8o5SASZz4_0M5qCX5LfClKfZo544DFA6MrTRk2bYwmj4gCdcjnYEu50oO-TOGB2hSomgSI3xjhJOSIS2XjpWa_slLKPk0fxLxY2p4CDjvsY24M3oXTZAkO/w480-h640/IMG-5530.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin0fgTvHIrKsqabdCW8qgei48ZSbbRUR7HnhQJfV4VjT2Dk6ltUuBTKftASlpYMwG02Y3Y7jrescxlLLWn4N3lDSt8fnusJ-wBrj1dXUlqnRnI6lgm31-a6J_G7i9YjaDLiU50ldchOd7m_0hmi8y5xrH_nt6ESLeou_5JNyJLLSHcO4ozODkPaAb6/s1902/IMG-5531.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1902" data-original-width="1426" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin0fgTvHIrKsqabdCW8qgei48ZSbbRUR7HnhQJfV4VjT2Dk6ltUuBTKftASlpYMwG02Y3Y7jrescxlLLWn4N3lDSt8fnusJ-wBrj1dXUlqnRnI6lgm31-a6J_G7i9YjaDLiU50ldchOd7m_0hmi8y5xrH_nt6ESLeou_5JNyJLLSHcO4ozODkPaAb6/w480-h640/IMG-5531.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Making this quilt was a little out of the norm for me but recently a little girl in our circle was diagnosed with cancer so things donāt feel normal. I did what I always do - I made her a quilt, but then I made another identical quilt to raffle for donations to the <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raising-for-rae">gofundme</a> thatās been set up to help pay for her two year treatment program. Itās not much, but when I cut and press and sew the fabric I pray. This raffle is one small way to extend that a bit, to help relieve the financial burden on her parents. The quilts both measure about 42ā by 52ā and they're backed with a super soft cuddle fabric, perfect for a little one or as a lap quilt on the couch. The <a href="https://huntersdesignstudio.com/product/the-droid-is-not-for-sale-rey-bb-8/">pattern</a> is by Sam at Hunter's Design Studio, and the mistakes in the quilts (there are a couple, don't look to closely!) are entirely my fault, not hers. The raffle quilt has a gray back and simple straight line quilting, and Rae's quilt has a hot pink back with custom quilting to highlight Rae's clothing and BB-8's shape as well as a swirly star background. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Together we raised $1500 for Rae and I couldn't be more thrilled. I never imagined how much support Rey and BB-8 would find in my little online community. It's been truly heartwarming, especially in the midst of so much global tragedy, to hear from people from so many different circles in my life who all want to help ease the burden on Rae's family right now. Thank you so much for helping to make this donation possible. And finally, congratulations to an old friend, <a href="https://www.cecemurgo.com/">Cecelia Murgo</a> who won the raffle quilt and is gifting it to her brand new great-nephew whose dad loves Star Wars!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> š§” </span><p></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYrc1Lj0ubMApT3yEJQ_dgmXMi8LAUgj0BcV4WzpP1ZeFE1IpHXwHi4a6Cob0YFMV2n1hF0qX5uzVoonYBGMNDa98z-Nlz0cS40fcotObSsoFIGVfx5VvApIG6sQyQvkpDK7rhi89gHNbBMEZhg1d4cw_9VrL0qmafm15m2LX-d5PT2iXtkOfJ260/s2048/IMG-5532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYrc1Lj0ubMApT3yEJQ_dgmXMi8LAUgj0BcV4WzpP1ZeFE1IpHXwHi4a6Cob0YFMV2n1hF0qX5uzVoonYBGMNDa98z-Nlz0cS40fcotObSsoFIGVfx5VvApIG6sQyQvkpDK7rhi89gHNbBMEZhg1d4cw_9VrL0qmafm15m2LX-d5PT2iXtkOfJ260/w640-h480/IMG-5532.JPG" width="640" /></a></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-44843342966373994152022-01-14T14:18:00.000-05:002022-01-14T14:18:16.335-05:00sea and sky | a quilt for Silas<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhnLzztMUZC6putT5k_B3Iqwd9W9ZazzJcxJO9YM5SUkxFIBZa2P6rsB5B24oBuIls03KAm_DPyupHzT7Rewyj-amdMVmzM6pUrnSdLsnb2tQG797WdAumKHmTAUAcvP_prs48vrbTjbRSG7AcWKzWf2c27NzwNfFZp9AJ6dwx-9kJ9hsgacavrSaK2=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhnLzztMUZC6putT5k_B3Iqwd9W9ZazzJcxJO9YM5SUkxFIBZa2P6rsB5B24oBuIls03KAm_DPyupHzT7Rewyj-amdMVmzM6pUrnSdLsnb2tQG797WdAumKHmTAUAcvP_prs48vrbTjbRSG7AcWKzWf2c27NzwNfFZp9AJ6dwx-9kJ9hsgacavrSaK2=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When an old college friend of mine commissioned me to make a quilt for her son when he graduated from a toddler to a twin bed I was simultaneously excited and nervous. I loved her ideas for the quilt but I'm always nervous about executing a project for someone else. Kristin sent me photos of the wall decor and rug in the room and sent screenshots from my blog and pinterest boards to show me the style of quilt she had in mind. We texted back and forth a lot as a I chose fabric and worked on the layout. We ended up deciding on a two sided quilt because we liked too many fabrics to rule any out! Both sides are pretty simple. My favorite side of the rectangle strips. I loved using special fabrics to feature little details like the candles, whales, and smiley suns. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhhjsv0gshP1QmXIkEuLuLbVagECJX2yk-OZGjxjZJZPoATAsFEDXETyBU_n2odMf1w0TPMD6TKzp0YU5rGp3Y6rb_gSRoJB9tZnEGLmuq2lh5yzTaFmsgbY5sqbcRkxHe0oaHmGGvqNpBN8exQYoZsElOQBUv7WahjbqaVmqAv4qzKu8pSNIVJetO7=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhhjsv0gshP1QmXIkEuLuLbVagECJX2yk-OZGjxjZJZPoATAsFEDXETyBU_n2odMf1w0TPMD6TKzp0YU5rGp3Y6rb_gSRoJB9tZnEGLmuq2lh5yzTaFmsgbY5sqbcRkxHe0oaHmGGvqNpBN8exQYoZsElOQBUv7WahjbqaVmqAv4qzKu8pSNIVJetO7=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBxpVMbpbBhudH_4bOz4KJZJoarfIk-OacmasHEcHTa5T4x3xmjX0suK5CDSBxMk8bAEnuUbZ956eMF39BSZUePHyAMHaRklU0BmKNL9P98rMmH2uihJcPwQ6kg1zxHhYAPr_H5QFITKwTYqCoPwxh6-Bw725For_TUfb7hX0spCbb5qZ0Wrd1pY3t=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBxpVMbpbBhudH_4bOz4KJZJoarfIk-OacmasHEcHTa5T4x3xmjX0suK5CDSBxMk8bAEnuUbZ956eMF39BSZUePHyAMHaRklU0BmKNL9P98rMmH2uihJcPwQ6kg1zxHhYAPr_H5QFITKwTYqCoPwxh6-Bw725For_TUfb7hX0spCbb5qZ0Wrd1pY3t=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5HG1dHhJB3x4IHzw9eGMM8RjR2nEAcWoWAapFZMEwUlkj801SczR1Nm2RleS4502aT_RXEKyREovVSqTabf2WBJVcZIj-CyrlYv4MEYm-W8NPcUuWZ78ot2mxkLKBi0HYN5BLcNX96FkNiTFuhlpnu3dv2fgxpS1SZgM7jz3E2kLDwczGwhC41Ev4=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5HG1dHhJB3x4IHzw9eGMM8RjR2nEAcWoWAapFZMEwUlkj801SczR1Nm2RleS4502aT_RXEKyREovVSqTabf2WBJVcZIj-CyrlYv4MEYm-W8NPcUuWZ78ot2mxkLKBi0HYN5BLcNX96FkNiTFuhlpnu3dv2fgxpS1SZgM7jz3E2kLDwczGwhC41Ev4=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEilcOhftfCrRzV8sRKmasBgkCu-If_OM_JBbvPk-AEozWZWCfZWKZAn-7j3GjTHsRsTyMaE4COkWvEim6hC4YctfHYwNwINsAJfHcvO3610IQAOPQUCrNeD7zgTwRXD84uXrv3bwJaevkuO9kg2v6_n9EeM7UIIJQUOMPnzVdfnm2Xyd0ymVoATdz9E=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEilcOhftfCrRzV8sRKmasBgkCu-If_OM_JBbvPk-AEozWZWCfZWKZAn-7j3GjTHsRsTyMaE4COkWvEim6hC4YctfHYwNwINsAJfHcvO3610IQAOPQUCrNeD7zgTwRXD84uXrv3bwJaevkuO9kg2v6_n9EeM7UIIJQUOMPnzVdfnm2Xyd0ymVoATdz9E=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg7zhT14q9q-vJM3919l3xYwggaYyAgp6785khSHHfMt4htEx4VBTJPUCzJT1MfSmsYr5tFAkSoMKYKJSTuPkqM_HrDoVKAQgsaAKYhWsPSrDPe65EVm-3FZEi2IlghnkcrjKuuy3g5A4-SrBhELnmWcmy1F3rzo7Mb5Xu8-H9qvmfg4LzYZ3m7rrQP=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg7zhT14q9q-vJM3919l3xYwggaYyAgp6785khSHHfMt4htEx4VBTJPUCzJT1MfSmsYr5tFAkSoMKYKJSTuPkqM_HrDoVKAQgsaAKYhWsPSrDPe65EVm-3FZEi2IlghnkcrjKuuy3g5A4-SrBhELnmWcmy1F3rzo7Mb5Xu8-H9qvmfg4LzYZ3m7rrQP=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><p>The reverse side (which Kristin prefers) is supposed to look vaguely like a mountain with the sky overhead and sea below. I created an ombre look with the blues to give it a deep ocean vibe and used a white constellation print for the sky. I quilted it with lots of random straight lines to keep the quilt soft and finished it off with scrappy binding using fabric I trimmed from the top. I brought it to the Jamestown Library for a little photo shoot the day before Kristin picked it up. My friend Ari and her daughter Sage were the perfect quilt holders - I love Sage's little gloved hand peeking out from the side of the quilt! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhafqRg9otnBYSbUj_UkyDMY7GA7St5FD9HmgICPeqwSaEEiap1uijgihkM_IMqCx37MJuedPWlyKuuMfqEtx4LMTpGdvsf1IJDWw-hnUJdo1GMc8Bg2-BIGkVVzuSOHbCg7t5_t6V-BfUzOMCWli2Sor7IKxFmIoP99uyPTpu2QOfMbVzoiRsSih_O=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhafqRg9otnBYSbUj_UkyDMY7GA7St5FD9HmgICPeqwSaEEiap1uijgihkM_IMqCx37MJuedPWlyKuuMfqEtx4LMTpGdvsf1IJDWw-hnUJdo1GMc8Bg2-BIGkVVzuSOHbCg7t5_t6V-BfUzOMCWli2Sor7IKxFmIoP99uyPTpu2QOfMbVzoiRsSih_O=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjzf_aQOXSbNtCqSsyY7_uLiZbYTN9rgYwZlnohS5dfRX9a9hp10cflZhhafzWw68UJ3e8AmROXvwi-uZicp1ANFwOf5ys0xUomyURPA9vMUTBGsX8C-i9O8KKKNgAVJ9pGLPXSmG0sD2yX4TIjO6CwPQSHQj5tjCowYvHF8C5qyjiE2wJRk8Ycc6E0=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjzf_aQOXSbNtCqSsyY7_uLiZbYTN9rgYwZlnohS5dfRX9a9hp10cflZhhafzWw68UJ3e8AmROXvwi-uZicp1ANFwOf5ys0xUomyURPA9vMUTBGsX8C-i9O8KKKNgAVJ9pGLPXSmG0sD2yX4TIjO6CwPQSHQj5tjCowYvHF8C5qyjiE2wJRk8Ycc6E0=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhw4YTZmkg9WZLdi7Ux_tCHyIootQO9Ye0-nOikCujs5-2RieFfVEnjbr3WqkUcMxYaoX_ClZPWcBBOfZ1mA9eb89N4lyz_NVh5o-eLtE0gCfXiUTbaK-S8HW6RPKQnmFfZdVNKKQlZXiS-U1QWX2VK-W0vBYDVkNngLIxlVms5_1Glh6zUx10iPd9f=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhw4YTZmkg9WZLdi7Ux_tCHyIootQO9Ye0-nOikCujs5-2RieFfVEnjbr3WqkUcMxYaoX_ClZPWcBBOfZ1mA9eb89N4lyz_NVh5o-eLtE0gCfXiUTbaK-S8HW6RPKQnmFfZdVNKKQlZXiS-U1QWX2VK-W0vBYDVkNngLIxlVms5_1Glh6zUx10iPd9f=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUoONwFXuLprDjCdyCRm8E-ELMAzAUqo-xhuw2AoF6B00oaGbodkznx_Pien4BXmfVmTJxiOkuU7sWLX5idVSWE0caSErpgRaWx1aHsACh7JCNAEYvIBppzh5yj30QrVSUd41VhcnMD963GwGcRC1HnQriilPr0eie7wkbN_nvAKGAIZ-IVonUpJsp=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUoONwFXuLprDjCdyCRm8E-ELMAzAUqo-xhuw2AoF6B00oaGbodkznx_Pien4BXmfVmTJxiOkuU7sWLX5idVSWE0caSErpgRaWx1aHsACh7JCNAEYvIBppzh5yj30QrVSUd41VhcnMD963GwGcRC1HnQriilPr0eie7wkbN_nvAKGAIZ-IVonUpJsp=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiY5hOzl3WG-8Oi8QXawXmzX3WDSg6F3MRZVgbM6zOJxnPnkaV5KSFMxE4LSVHoX5PNLdPwJfyxuzi6VFB9BXTtBxIw-mZQVWOyN0VHMJIwEGlmJwI1ZEGnT9vLKtZgvYALv4tGg8fgvPkyBn8D8Ie189PjK1VVYUb3kT0KOVqbbg23XUq7QtFXo29p=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiY5hOzl3WG-8Oi8QXawXmzX3WDSg6F3MRZVgbM6zOJxnPnkaV5KSFMxE4LSVHoX5PNLdPwJfyxuzi6VFB9BXTtBxIw-mZQVWOyN0VHMJIwEGlmJwI1ZEGnT9vLKtZgvYALv4tGg8fgvPkyBn8D8Ie189PjK1VVYUb3kT0KOVqbbg23XUq7QtFXo29p=w480-h640" width="480" /></a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div><p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-17177119481189804152022-01-11T14:27:00.001-05:002022-01-11T14:27:33.250-05:00a quilt for Luca<p>When friends from the gym I go to announced their pregnancy I didn't initially think of making a quilt for the baby because we're not that close and I thought it might be weird of me. Then I remembered that every baby needs a quilt and started sewing! I also remembered how much I valued everything people did for me when I had my babies, especially other moms. So I made the quilt and after Liz, Dante, and Luca were home recovering I texted her to ask what I could pick up at Seven Stars for them. Then I made a special delivery of lactation energy bites, cranberry nut loaf, and some pastries plus a quilt!

Cutting out the pattern, cutting out the fabric, sewing (curves!), pressing, basting, quilting, binding, trimming. It was all meditative. My friend Rochelle is giving it to her soon-to-be-born niece and it makes me happy to think about a brand new baby girl snuggled up on a rainbow quilt. It truly is the little things that are getting me through lately. But the big things are still important! #wearyourmask #retrorainbowquilt [p.s. the lighting was really harsh in these photos because I was standing in direct sunlight and I didnāt edit them very well, whoops! I promise it doesn't give you an instant headache in real life.]</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwdrdyXJUxgCXxYSe6UimJLrW-zdS9ZyWedxlvV28Jx1AeuWkkCwyzQslkYKrJCIIGlPbEFWArgsTnjhDpbTGdR20b6-pQ_LXu7MS0a6HWVmljzd19FMo1_Wg4skcRSX-3jY3zXGu5XeI/s1024/IMG-2749.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwdrdyXJUxgCXxYSe6UimJLrW-zdS9ZyWedxlvV28Jx1AeuWkkCwyzQslkYKrJCIIGlPbEFWArgsTnjhDpbTGdR20b6-pQ_LXu7MS0a6HWVmljzd19FMo1_Wg4skcRSX-3jY3zXGu5XeI/w480-h640/IMG-2749.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-20850885756266823722021-10-03T13:04:00.004-04:002021-10-03T13:04:28.988-04:00Sabin Point | a quilt for Emmett<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLIejKfBM6kDuaWYoKp6BD6CKHvcmS2sb7Ca2a8QasB3VLdyK718cbKWZ-JU7XXwLpsjFV7_r21_ihAiMfvK_IgKCTurC4USmBfJXAKWvdP6LAbQ-oF_fEuSbdP_xPCQ6EEiXWlFvj-qM/s2048/IMG-1072.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLIejKfBM6kDuaWYoKp6BD6CKHvcmS2sb7Ca2a8QasB3VLdyK718cbKWZ-JU7XXwLpsjFV7_r21_ihAiMfvK_IgKCTurC4USmBfJXAKWvdP6LAbQ-oF_fEuSbdP_xPCQ6EEiXWlFvj-qM/w480-h640/IMG-1072.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>One of my favorite free patterns from Purl Soho, it's called Tiny Tiles and I highly recommend using up your scraps this way!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpqBa9_dxNQWq3XYRJ_UzpbUzyu5FJNB8LseBnusEcSWESLDJ8h3CNF4y-45JiODamEl3WeLrYtpOpZFenNZNXZdkxwNogHSiJR1ydEHIGhtk37Zirx24FiSI3FcUjwt2BpFJgv6VE3Ws/s2048/IMG-1073.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpqBa9_dxNQWq3XYRJ_UzpbUzyu5FJNB8LseBnusEcSWESLDJ8h3CNF4y-45JiODamEl3WeLrYtpOpZFenNZNXZdkxwNogHSiJR1ydEHIGhtk37Zirx24FiSI3FcUjwt2BpFJgv6VE3Ws/w480-h640/IMG-1073.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-42452339497542071162021-10-03T13:03:00.003-04:002021-10-03T13:03:16.269-04:00flying fried eggs | a quilt for Julian<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtQAFqLV9FWn_Gif5d7wrb5tVd3KSWvn6SIUYRtecuNuhu4elOlTfkGebDpLZD6vb6S9VsD0Bg1pxV4RmuLQ2TQqL_aY_lbBWyYzlk8QFUlHR9x97cSZ_iaXboO3Cr2YJU2xGk3iBEK3o/s2048/IMG_8348.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtQAFqLV9FWn_Gif5d7wrb5tVd3KSWvn6SIUYRtecuNuhu4elOlTfkGebDpLZD6vb6S9VsD0Bg1pxV4RmuLQ2TQqL_aY_lbBWyYzlk8QFUlHR9x97cSZ_iaXboO3Cr2YJU2xGk3iBEK3o/w640-h480/IMG_8348.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I had so much fun making these flying geese in random print combinations!

It seemed fitting to take pictures of the quilt at a Smithfield conservation area because Brenda's family has lived in Smithfield for generations! The family that donated the land to the town almost certainly knew Brenda's family, and probably my great-grandmother's family too.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL8PeZZ0M2xuYaurWwDRaL_F-TwQmG_9H1Z0BrtzI69hBY6crOFDNFXnKcQLhqdscsAYjSyBKujC-rcaN_mvNsHCg5wQKNmCnNB6LySjYmH2zv6Xn3X07ExgDTSmBu_vxgM3xpD2_Z1IQ/s1794/677C88E9-6F4E-4755-A8CC-970C339B604D.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1794" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL8PeZZ0M2xuYaurWwDRaL_F-TwQmG_9H1Z0BrtzI69hBY6crOFDNFXnKcQLhqdscsAYjSyBKujC-rcaN_mvNsHCg5wQKNmCnNB6LySjYmH2zv6Xn3X07ExgDTSmBu_vxgM3xpD2_Z1IQ/w514-h640/677C88E9-6F4E-4755-A8CC-970C339B604D.JPG" width="514" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz3pb3ryr5eKEGcYxgJ5BihSnooQLoe8eDR9S4wgYNYJRdHUaSH1rUWebDa7iuJS3txnED1hercIT4CJLMOv_SyB0tLIeIkL8veu0FfLFiDgSaeMG_nGHXOyKU1Z_3svvWVv-36ZLuudk/s1794/C3F5A607-577D-4F18-90C6-8D11C86FDEE3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1794" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz3pb3ryr5eKEGcYxgJ5BihSnooQLoe8eDR9S4wgYNYJRdHUaSH1rUWebDa7iuJS3txnED1hercIT4CJLMOv_SyB0tLIeIkL8veu0FfLFiDgSaeMG_nGHXOyKU1Z_3svvWVv-36ZLuudk/w514-h640/C3F5A607-577D-4F18-90C6-8D11C86FDEE3.JPG" width="514" /></a></div><p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-23118046406722224572021-04-28T10:28:00.006-04:002021-04-28T10:28:58.203-04:00just peachy | a quilt for Olivia<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiequZ9bpIhRPUEnBiwcFqdkPb5CWdRd5NVk-9TxYeiCK1wCTbTFvg5P2pfaXYzc8eRsV2_-Secf5HJxH5qEjcapHbiAaQ8UnbT3APm8Si9lkJlKdk-ur7tyOUy3d6-jAzLbHQFDIIJEjQ/s1008/IMG-7135.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1008" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiequZ9bpIhRPUEnBiwcFqdkPb5CWdRd5NVk-9TxYeiCK1wCTbTFvg5P2pfaXYzc8eRsV2_-Secf5HJxH5qEjcapHbiAaQ8UnbT3APm8Si9lkJlKdk-ur7tyOUy3d6-jAzLbHQFDIIJEjQ/w640-h480/IMG-7135.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Blake and Josh are about to welcome their first baby, Olivia. I had been wanting to use Bonnie's peach fabric in something for a while and I thought Blake would like it so I ordered a yard and a half without a any ideas of what I'd made. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I didnāt plan on making a whole cloth quilt but after I got the peach fabric I decided I couldnāt possibly cut it up. The back is a soft burnt orange double gauze. I had fun echoing the peaches with some free motion quilting, and then when I didnāt find anything in my stash that would make a suitable binding, Rory and I walked down the street to my local sew shop (so convenient, I can never move) and picked out this metallic gold print.

Another friend and I both wanted to make her a quilt so we decided to collaborate. We invited sewists from our church to make heart blocks and I also asked my quilting friends on instagram if theyād like to contribute. So many people made hearts for Sarah that we had enough blocks to make two quilts! We decided to make the second one for Sarahās mom who lives down the street from her and is helping their family (Sarah and her husband have two young children) throughout this trial. Lorraine and I both made blocks and we each pieced a quilt, and then Lorraine quilted them on her long arm (isnāt the swirly heart design so cute?) and bound them both. We did a socially distanced drop off to Sarah and her mom and they both loved the quilts! Oh, I almost forgot - I pieced the word āhopeā into Sarahās. Iāve made <a href="http://www.dsquilts.com/fabric_and_patterns.asp?PageID=193">that free pattern</a> by Denyse Schmidt so many times, it just feels right for so many occasions. The heart pattern is free too, itās by <a href="https://cluckclucksew.com/2015/01/making-heart-blocks-in-multiple-sizes.html">Cluck Cluck Sew.</a> Please keep Sarah in your prayers.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzPcgDQTRQAGyaoyETqtJhyphenhyphen3A5HbKYeSpV4c5NtkWXVVqbcAw7iaRCCsXryRAvdC8baZi60Mjxrw7yc4dJpwI1y_RUXS8WeF177BVXXbHSPtmRrmSmgoLACLAZv-_d2O0ucyb2qxW_kM4/s2048/IMG-1242.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzPcgDQTRQAGyaoyETqtJhyphenhyphen3A5HbKYeSpV4c5NtkWXVVqbcAw7iaRCCsXryRAvdC8baZi60Mjxrw7yc4dJpwI1y_RUXS8WeF177BVXXbHSPtmRrmSmgoLACLAZv-_d2O0ucyb2qxW_kM4/w480-h640/IMG-1242.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhastjVCpYeOPrYBudyJy6Y9YbUuO7b150UOFYaq7M66mIlYhE88RaI38Hd5YCI5WOVZVnK1tTbmBFh1osEN6YPPMYSFB7eDg3U44R52PttWBYAcIGjXRLSRuC3Gaw1XJ7QArJoPyHwguE/s2048/IMG-1248.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhastjVCpYeOPrYBudyJy6Y9YbUuO7b150UOFYaq7M66mIlYhE88RaI38Hd5YCI5WOVZVnK1tTbmBFh1osEN6YPPMYSFB7eDg3U44R52PttWBYAcIGjXRLSRuC3Gaw1XJ7QArJoPyHwguE/w480-h640/IMG-1248.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK20xEii8W-VaoXNKXhwlMoHI9dljnPKqANpsBbWfwJdViF17dsUCMr6TwvVwb1__5XUGpgmpCNDDc08Re8iCqMuuCz2YKosbOBKak1nf2M2Xk4q0obWD0iSgTlAbOGegr9cDa723R59c/s2048/IMG-6787.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK20xEii8W-VaoXNKXhwlMoHI9dljnPKqANpsBbWfwJdViF17dsUCMr6TwvVwb1__5XUGpgmpCNDDc08Re8iCqMuuCz2YKosbOBKak1nf2M2Xk4q0obWD0iSgTlAbOGegr9cDa723R59c/w480-h640/IMG-6787.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX0v4uC6ElJxDbrYsjqNwZnutHnBiXxfoxHvaNcRf38gutSQNvn3juUCG8k9-eQGiklsB_6BdWwEWyiQdM2u0DbmVoo-R2nYY19Oj_csRfpZZr6BTIux10IF4n1EfN2xfwhfouoRSAd8I/s2048/IMG-6788.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX0v4uC6ElJxDbrYsjqNwZnutHnBiXxfoxHvaNcRf38gutSQNvn3juUCG8k9-eQGiklsB_6BdWwEWyiQdM2u0DbmVoo-R2nYY19Oj_csRfpZZr6BTIux10IF4n1EfN2xfwhfouoRSAd8I/w480-h640/IMG-6788.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-72509175339607575572021-04-28T10:08:00.000-04:002021-04-28T10:08:02.180-04:00twelve | a quilt for Ethan <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GqvnHLBQSPqAvjzOu-vCg5YxKWq9ZW-fXOwgyIK4pE8VPT0kgnryOrt34NQaoiTmXW-MB6vtei48H3CiIcPFARRf-JsPt2niGvkdbQHD5-7UVJemLcc173EpE1g7gyouy3cAh7Odbo4/s2048/IMG-6248+%25281%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GqvnHLBQSPqAvjzOu-vCg5YxKWq9ZW-fXOwgyIK4pE8VPT0kgnryOrt34NQaoiTmXW-MB6vtei48H3CiIcPFARRf-JsPt2niGvkdbQHD5-7UVJemLcc173EpE1g7gyouy3cAh7Odbo4/w480-h640/IMG-6248+%25281%2529.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I delivered a quilt to a guy I've known since he was a toddler and now he's a college student and I'm feeling very old. Ethan taught Ezra piano all last year so I made him a quilt to say thank you and also to congratulate him on his high school graduation. Only took me five months too long! I'm always intimated by quilting big quilts and I end up kicking myself when I make them, but Ethan is an adult and needed an adult size quilt. I started quilting and got overwhelmed by the bigness and put it aside and just looked at it where it sat in a heap on my floor for a while. After getting a few baby quilts done to recover my confidence I was ready to finish it and I got it done over the weekend while watching Never Have I Ever. Anyway, Ethan is a coffee addict (and he works at Starbucks!) so I made twelve coffee cups since he completed twelve years of school (we're ignoring kindergarten to make things easy, thirteen cups would've been weird). I kept the rest simple and the back is completely plain because I'm not sure any college freshman wants my idea of a fun quilt on their XL twin bed at URI. - Fun fact: Ethan lives in the same dorm that Matt did! - It was quite an adventure getting to Ethan's house today (car accident in front of us, flat tire, two hours on the side of the highway, it was fun) but this was a real bright spot in what is a very stressful day for so many reasons. So, Ethan, thanks for teaching Ezra how to play the piano and congratulations on your graduation! You're going to do amazing things in life and I can't wait to see what they are</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhti5kepfS45O-w-4HIiY7KsJuvvCEIclxvF9-RMN-gQDIYmA4JyWtg2aPlwLflXnca3Nui7LokTJF028cuu1wpk-CPcs-6OmQaobvgnYo6X7k3g_K9tItsnxxCww4OmiaBMENf0mbbVSE/s1008/IMG-6253.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhti5kepfS45O-w-4HIiY7KsJuvvCEIclxvF9-RMN-gQDIYmA4JyWtg2aPlwLflXnca3Nui7LokTJF028cuu1wpk-CPcs-6OmQaobvgnYo6X7k3g_K9tItsnxxCww4OmiaBMENf0mbbVSE/w480-h640/IMG-6253.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL1mjxCnOsjPr-9oDXBh7jZIE579YpnEpppVMlpsHeB3943gKbi-Y0xndhaGuZo7bLgQW_m0gTwWe6INIFQcwkgXrdeUtUSKwIZYxmg7k5A_UkTUKs6mGPaLThZaBOvsI3JoAX_remOfw/s1008/IMG-6254.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL1mjxCnOsjPr-9oDXBh7jZIE579YpnEpppVMlpsHeB3943gKbi-Y0xndhaGuZo7bLgQW_m0gTwWe6INIFQcwkgXrdeUtUSKwIZYxmg7k5A_UkTUKs6mGPaLThZaBOvsI3JoAX_remOfw/w480-h640/IMG-6254.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4yxqN8JNgZ6McT_K-sYOl_3H21AMfbPvurlB31G9lkKOt9QVeyCZ23iP8Dp2vzyHJwHURBIW3CGBeom6ywT9313ll5dmcjfxfmmXDl5FI0GZSaQyYMU_9Xaz26YeRCGh5gCI9whXZQHY/s1008/IMG-6255.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4yxqN8JNgZ6McT_K-sYOl_3H21AMfbPvurlB31G9lkKOt9QVeyCZ23iP8Dp2vzyHJwHURBIW3CGBeom6ywT9313ll5dmcjfxfmmXDl5FI0GZSaQyYMU_9Xaz26YeRCGh5gCI9whXZQHY/w480-h640/IMG-6255.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilyJL5wSu7BCQYK0v5Vk7g_Iw_9l6_9YRrZQyNzGlW_GZI0bgA5RRsl3G2w9K8Rd3xGlL7xNJTdVJZRfy6iQ_hW7WcrnjxPDGfAQJRtp4fdbh-nJ0hLp8kdLxoU5wBF-acQLlyl4yw57Q/s2048/IMG-6227.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilyJL5wSu7BCQYK0v5Vk7g_Iw_9l6_9YRrZQyNzGlW_GZI0bgA5RRsl3G2w9K8Rd3xGlL7xNJTdVJZRfy6iQ_hW7WcrnjxPDGfAQJRtp4fdbh-nJ0hLp8kdLxoU5wBF-acQLlyl4yw57Q/w480-h640/IMG-6227.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-33120712967085818452021-04-28T09:30:00.001-04:002021-04-28T09:30:15.185-04:00seaside stars | a quilt for Ives<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl74GSdIJzjF-IxQ2f5HLO7Wd5zSt9p6tRQAl-k4SQxULjTpEUQi5CtSNN4ycY5JqsAxQKvnTKnEHD_GAkOBJOAvveFghjy18dNuO9-JVX1vvHtdYNW2-7A9sCYMS5VUWYPhnXLASBMlY/s2048/IMG-6115.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl74GSdIJzjF-IxQ2f5HLO7Wd5zSt9p6tRQAl-k4SQxULjTpEUQi5CtSNN4ycY5JqsAxQKvnTKnEHD_GAkOBJOAvveFghjy18dNuO9-JVX1vvHtdYNW2-7A9sCYMS5VUWYPhnXLASBMlY/w640-h480/IMG-6115.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I made this quilt for Ives, my dear friend Ari's third baby. She knew pretty much exactly what she wanted for pattern and color and I set out to recreate it. Luckily my quilting friend <a href="https://seaside-stitches.com/">Tina</a> pointed me in the right direction when I asked what the pattern was. Iām not very familiar with traditional blocks and I thought this was a variation on a sawtooth star, but Tina informed me that theyāre actually Ohio Stars - thanks, Tina! With that knowledge I drafted a pattern so I could figure out how much fabric to buy and let me tell you, I didnāt make a single mistake. I calculated how many squares and how many quarter square triangles I needed exactly. Honestly, I couldnāt believe I did so much quilt math successfully on my first try. I dug through my stash to find the perfect blues and then went off to <a href="https://www.rycotrim.com/">Ryco</a> and bought way more fabric than was necessary. I spent a day cutting and sewing while watching Emily in Paris back in the fall (HOW did it get nominated for a Golden Globe, I'd like to know) and finished the quilt in time to give it to Ari at her zoom shower (I dropped it off at her momās house the week before). Iām so pleased with how it turned out and I hope Ives is too! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeJReRen5lbpVzjCqaTqU6xMtc86nH-Euzb3OuzBVvpw8tLrylbNYJ56Ku9oG-PXCV-HGVU_nwfBPf6T3wkXYt4IsD9GSUr_wuMg8cTMExw6oNa8ahltEWqVWOKYQAvCllsdmT2OnISZM/s2048/IMG-6117.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeJReRen5lbpVzjCqaTqU6xMtc86nH-Euzb3OuzBVvpw8tLrylbNYJ56Ku9oG-PXCV-HGVU_nwfBPf6T3wkXYt4IsD9GSUr_wuMg8cTMExw6oNa8ahltEWqVWOKYQAvCllsdmT2OnISZM/w480-h640/IMG-6117.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvjTgeyFFDj84gE3iZTGE7JPX7gKFzePGkMKQgDwpXwo_SbOxVm3IDxpjM0KU-DO23vDlzXdZb-lgS8Cv1xxj1AnYCgmooo7VQd3LZsooJCCdGgVffGqek75kYKNx6wj6FLRHFYLcXZO8/s2048/IMG-6120.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvjTgeyFFDj84gE3iZTGE7JPX7gKFzePGkMKQgDwpXwo_SbOxVm3IDxpjM0KU-DO23vDlzXdZb-lgS8Cv1xxj1AnYCgmooo7VQd3LZsooJCCdGgVffGqek75kYKNx6wj6FLRHFYLcXZO8/w480-h640/IMG-6120.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6I5R1RAdNOZh0t1HeK0IviBevDj6icHNn2mESMH1d-joaKKeoyCC3ZsDnFLe92Js9zlseZodN9hfGajNTxKQB9azxHEnZJmqMu10unF_Ynib67xnZ_CQbONW_o3zNQOvOV7AvYPKIDm8/s2048/IMG-6121.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6I5R1RAdNOZh0t1HeK0IviBevDj6icHNn2mESMH1d-joaKKeoyCC3ZsDnFLe92Js9zlseZodN9hfGajNTxKQB9azxHEnZJmqMu10unF_Ynib67xnZ_CQbONW_o3zNQOvOV7AvYPKIDm8/w480-h640/IMG-6121.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUsDPcDCMeDR6SwlFLJ0cVun1IPegoF9J_7gY4n6A_gho1iUVGenmOXOixS9KnQO9DTQp28xPuxGINRwB4Tgsd1sUG006P7GAU5vn5dsBRZYiSM-7HVjEIkyem_voNg8Osjg8VucypR7w/s2048/IMG-6122.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUsDPcDCMeDR6SwlFLJ0cVun1IPegoF9J_7gY4n6A_gho1iUVGenmOXOixS9KnQO9DTQp28xPuxGINRwB4Tgsd1sUG006P7GAU5vn5dsBRZYiSM-7HVjEIkyem_voNg8Osjg8VucypR7w/w480-h640/IMG-6122.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-73283087553581848592021-04-28T09:23:00.005-04:002021-04-28T09:23:38.334-04:00small star | a quilt for Isaac<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Y3-vWJfFbTVAIa22CaY1sowiB6kGic4PWRm9U1lEpnN4d4BGOT7xn8cKoH7jRhRG8nHbBRL3IHy1o5OsynQ_dBQZTo5Whcszv_LbaUnLhExa48PeXeAKtll0COdJkqyoTdvFeprwdf0/s2048/IMG-6815.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Y3-vWJfFbTVAIa22CaY1sowiB6kGic4PWRm9U1lEpnN4d4BGOT7xn8cKoH7jRhRG8nHbBRL3IHy1o5OsynQ_dBQZTo5Whcszv_LbaUnLhExa48PeXeAKtll0COdJkqyoTdvFeprwdf0/w640-h480/IMG-6815.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">My mom and I made this quilt for one of my brother's best friend's sons.

I loved choosing solid neutral fabrics for a change since usually everything I make is full of color and pattern and print, and putting the quilt top together was like a puzzle. Quilting always energizes me and helps keep me sane but this one felt different. It was challenging to work with fabrics I wouldn't normally use and still trust that the end result would be what I hoped it would be. I loved making this quilt for Luca James, thinking about how it will keep her warm and cozy during what will definitely be a cold MI winter, and how, more importantly, my friends will raise her to be a warm and caring person. That has nothing to do with quilting, I know, but it's that kind of thinking that gives me hope for the future. Also, unrelated, but I watched the entire first season of Emily in Paris while I made this quilt. I didn't love the show, but Pierre Cadeau cracking the tops of an entire tray of creme brulee is a whole mood. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnlHB9_UQIMMdQM9UIdsP57DAddYfW9OavGwdo4EOVRyM3kx9yil7fHbqDF44QesyAfqkoFN7aEjvDiYutgoXp2ZbHkokqL2jbJxjCbXD7fec8UA69btGTUGQ5R_XExNCsbyjXkV_QrU/s1008/IMG-5820.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnlHB9_UQIMMdQM9UIdsP57DAddYfW9OavGwdo4EOVRyM3kx9yil7fHbqDF44QesyAfqkoFN7aEjvDiYutgoXp2ZbHkokqL2jbJxjCbXD7fec8UA69btGTUGQ5R_XExNCsbyjXkV_QrU/w480-h640/IMG-5820.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqf0vvee27Oae3K5Xtt-FAgHy1-f9Mm4lkFoT_n94HvWehssmfB0FUNJ3zGvQTShHXzne58RjQXPcyHdoLPSa1hqTDdx2JLCr0v1rmO7XngPutmZqKuvp8rDQF-n7CKEnikheZeG3SFs/s1008/IMG-5822.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1008" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqf0vvee27Oae3K5Xtt-FAgHy1-f9Mm4lkFoT_n94HvWehssmfB0FUNJ3zGvQTShHXzne58RjQXPcyHdoLPSa1hqTDdx2JLCr0v1rmO7XngPutmZqKuvp8rDQF-n7CKEnikheZeG3SFs/w640-h480/IMG-5822.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987261752932667106.post-27187934090838667272020-12-06T14:21:00.001-05:002020-12-06T14:21:28.970-05:00tiny tiles | another quilt for Lenora<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTmFIbM08NeCZcm7oTEgPeUyV5ZOzv-M945ao1SUdMFgaKPZf4cy3lCJwthqoKUA44SMja-DhSNibWY8rlmzAn5jkzj8jrszaRL2cWwidHlHEySLbNZJOV_06-G5ZCHeMhm6OkybbSxwU/s2048/IMG-5940.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTmFIbM08NeCZcm7oTEgPeUyV5ZOzv-M945ao1SUdMFgaKPZf4cy3lCJwthqoKUA44SMja-DhSNibWY8rlmzAn5jkzj8jrszaRL2cWwidHlHEySLbNZJOV_06-G5ZCHeMhm6OkybbSxwU/w640-h480/IMG-5940.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>My friend Jess's daughter recently graduated to a big girl bed so she needed a new quilt. Jess sent me a picture of the color inspiration for her room and asked me to make the tiny tiles quilt (a free pattern from Purl Soho) because she loved the last one I made. I had fun using up lots of scraps and little bits of fabric I've been saving. I used my precious Heather Ross snails on the back and bound it with - what else - scraps. I made my family drive all the way to Beavertail for pictures because it's Jess's favorite place in Rhode Island and I thought it would be a fun family adventure. It was, until Matt and Ezra got soaked by a wave and Ezra spent the rest of the afternoon airing his socks and sneakers on a fence in the sun. Then we got Tallulah's for dinner, another one of Jess's favorites. Next time she's on the East Coast we'll all go together!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhr81RJQz_cpJ6g7m3nSWUSwVcp1XeG3nE8tQzRTIpu8soyhG6uwVVRdKDOzGaAv4J5KofrUpllfqbeIwV81mn0u5JtsGGk25PxsIfpcLnXadfzQ6zeTjdULO-QugnEG4PqNE7MrLLhVw/s2048/IMG-5943.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhr81RJQz_cpJ6g7m3nSWUSwVcp1XeG3nE8tQzRTIpu8soyhG6uwVVRdKDOzGaAv4J5KofrUpllfqbeIwV81mn0u5JtsGGk25PxsIfpcLnXadfzQ6zeTjdULO-QugnEG4PqNE7MrLLhVw/w480-h640/IMG-5943.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNrK07uDjmHlToP-AnIz0yB2_TxJzr1zeqs2rIHM232paxy47-tWJ0Ad_ZbEt3CxJ23gPQ5sAM2rNwXbg-eAg3eY4J0mrRrSajLAKx5qGqq5fNs85SRPx4fd_WKCttbmn1GUKWbUMrZQc/s2048/IMG-5946.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNrK07uDjmHlToP-AnIz0yB2_TxJzr1zeqs2rIHM232paxy47-tWJ0Ad_ZbEt3CxJ23gPQ5sAM2rNwXbg-eAg3eY4J0mrRrSajLAKx5qGqq5fNs85SRPx4fd_WKCttbmn1GUKWbUMrZQc/w640-h480/IMG-5946.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38KPV7ZHKlXzkLVMtBGnwi14EPFLSwrcr7IFAbfK4Qxny2MAtIadJhvMDkvf8tg5-2ksqyCxsHS3IB3hnCd38zhOfwXjPIlldurjDwFJwVoBh8WN_BhojZkdSvqd96RN16K8Z3yktXFU/s1008/IMG-5982.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38KPV7ZHKlXzkLVMtBGnwi14EPFLSwrcr7IFAbfK4Qxny2MAtIadJhvMDkvf8tg5-2ksqyCxsHS3IB3hnCd38zhOfwXjPIlldurjDwFJwVoBh8WN_BhojZkdSvqd96RN16K8Z3yktXFU/w480-h640/IMG-5982.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAwFZVF6n6evPc3NsvkqEwSRk65N6MuARu93jEKjzPdoxdDVlfyx6qKSxGDNRJu02DKz8n_lasjcre7UBdpTwdDRFSjcfvtntCIe5-CxvKZRr87q3O6YIqMSR2nqf8Qtc452EmoeB9rb8/s1008/IMG-5983.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1008" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAwFZVF6n6evPc3NsvkqEwSRk65N6MuARu93jEKjzPdoxdDVlfyx6qKSxGDNRJu02DKz8n_lasjcre7UBdpTwdDRFSjcfvtntCIe5-CxvKZRr87q3O6YIqMSR2nqf8Qtc452EmoeB9rb8/w640-h480/IMG-5983.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwwjt3x6rpkRpXr8aS5IgDqDErK5nE5uLQqRwu2ZS5R-T9BWOUy-w-gET9EkhJcS1CRc-tsjQGXqjPIZIdu4XPPbytrRerhcUXC7KmB_cbNonH8vrAb3cmfeUo6Ukhb8N9WMoIQllKFVs/s1008/IMG-5984.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwwjt3x6rpkRpXr8aS5IgDqDErK5nE5uLQqRwu2ZS5R-T9BWOUy-w-gET9EkhJcS1CRc-tsjQGXqjPIZIdu4XPPbytrRerhcUXC7KmB_cbNonH8vrAb3cmfeUo6Ukhb8N9WMoIQllKFVs/w480-h640/IMG-5984.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Tara Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11260513005442173804noreply@blogger.com0
