hey Pip


I have a pretty awesome sister.  Her name is Pippa, she's crazy smart, taller, hilarious/snarky, holds her booze better than anyone else in the family, and oh, new talent, has great taste in fabric*.  I'm making her a quilt to give to friends for their wedding so we went shopping together when I was in Van.  And no prodding she went straight to the Melody Millers, Heather Rosses and Lizzy Houses.  Did I mention she's always been cooler than me?


So I thought to get myself out of my sewing rut, I'd get started on her quilt.  And there is the little factor of that deadline.  Apparently they won't change the wedding date just because I'm late making their present.  Man.  Some people's children!


Oh, and Tron decided he needed to get into the photo action.

rock on,

*Pip, just in case you're reading this, you do have other great qualities.  But, as you know, not suddenly becoming British when you drink is really, really high on my list.**
**For anyone else reading this, our mum gets a British accent when she drinks.  Our family isn't from the UK.  Is that too much information?

  1. HA! I am laughing out loud at your post-scripts... too funny! The rest of the post is pretty clever as well. And I wish my sis would develop a liking for quilt stores and fabric...

  9. You're kidding! My sister's name is Pippa too and she has all of the qualities that you describe right down to being cooler and mines a little tougher. I bet she loves you with all of that crazy passion too just like my sister does. We are lucky to have Pippa's in our lives :)
