New Baby Girl Quilt

Last Thursday, I spent a day sewing with a dear friend.  I am making a baby girl quilt and she let me go through her stash. I’m using a pattern called Amsterdam Quilt by Michelle Engel Benckso for Cloud 9 Fabrics.  I had a lot of fun picking girly fabrics and cut them while my friend helped me making blocks. 

The fun continues at home and this is on my design wall right now.

 




My first tulip block is done.  


Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

May Update and Works In Progress

This 2024 is really something.  It continues to throw rocks my way and keeping me off track.  After surviving the passing of a dear brother in-law in March and a dog attack in the beginning of April, the last week of April my own brother passed away after a brave and fierce fight with cancer.  He was 74 and is survived by his wife, 4 sons, a daughter, and 6 grandchildren.  Rest in peace my dear brother, till we meet again.  

 

Life got back to normal and I finished the "Turning Twenty" quilt top for my guild and here's the picture.

 

 

I love big block quilts.  The top came together really fast.  This quilt top is 60" x 75".  It was returned and awaits quilting.  

 

I have 2 urgent baby quilts to do, both are for good friends who are having their first baby. One is a boy and one is a girl.  Now is the time to pull out some fabric, but wait, I don't have much cute baby fabric!!  Most of my fabric are solid and that is not even much.  A dear friend is inviting me to sew at her house this Thursday and giving me a permission to rummage through her stash.  That's a miracle, who would do that?  Wait and see.....

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
