On Tuesday Leo and I saw this show. It was an amazing display of quilts. The presentation and range of designs made it totally worth the trip. Unfortunately it was only up for a few days. Leo also seemed to really like it since he likes to look up at graphic things and lights. If you can believe one woman collected all these!

Baby blocks
Leo is now really into playing with toys interactively. I thought he would enjoy playing with soft foam blocks. I had foam cut to 4" x 4" cubes and sewed covers. One nice thing about this project is you can use up all your small scraps of fabrics from previous projects. Below is a little how to. So far they are a hit!
Cut the squares 4.5" x 4.5" for a 4" cube.
Sew the 6 squares together in a cross formation with a 1/4" seam allowance. At each corner stop 1/4" from the edge. Then sew the sides and top leaving one edge open.
Turn right side out, stuff the foam block inside and hand stitch closed.
