My mother- in-laws quilt

Ok so I have been working on this quilt forever and thought that it would be fun to do.  It was fun but oh my gosh was it way more work than I bargained for.  It has a ton of hand work and applique on it. All of the lettering was hand done and than all of the pictures had to be sewn around. I was so proud to finally get it done and give it to my mother-in-law for her christmas, birthday, mother's day and than 4th of July quilt. (You see what I mean by working on it for a really long time.) Here's some pictures.






Grape salad

Thanks to my wonderful sister-in-law I have a recipe that Tyler will eat with fruit in it. It is good with any fruit but the recipe calls for grapes. Vanessa, the wonderful sister-in-law, said she put strawberries in it as well so I tried it that way this time and loved it. Ok so enough talking about it and here is the recipe.

1- 8oz tub of cool whip
1- 8oz cream cheese
1 cup of powder sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 lbs of grapes
Mix all together and enjoy!
