Picture Day

Now that we are a family of five, I've reached an entirely new level of negligence when it comes to taking pictures of the kids. Fortunately, I've made a routine of getting family pictures taken by Jessica Inman a couple times a year. Now my kids won't wonder if I actually raised them, due to the lack of photographic evidence.
Of course, I tend to bring a quilt along. This time, I brought my Summer Breeze quilt (pictured above) made with Pat Sloan's Hometown Girl fabrics for the Fat Quarter Shop's blog hop. Jessica was kind enough to take a few shots of the quilt at the Albuquerque Botanic Gardens where we had our shoot.

Summer Breeze felt right at home with the Farmall tractor. If you're interested in making your own, the pattern can be purchased from Fat Quarter Shop. There's a video tutorial and kit featuring Kate Spain's Latitude batiks available too.

Here I am with my husband Rob, and kids Bryce (7), Linnea (3) and Cade (1). Thanks for humoring my show and tell of the familial variety.

  4. Great family shots. Remember to wear everyday clothes in some pictures, not so matchy. Have pictures in a playground.
