Report for May

Hello, getting a monthly report in. I'm trying to do better at posting in a more timely manner. Here is my May endeavors - some finishes and some progress.

Argh! Hubby was holding this upside down. Oh well. This a tube baby quilt which I made for my Grand niece born two month's early due to eclampsia. Named Liliana Rosalie. Welcome sweet baby girl!

Made some progress on my Love Entwined. Those pesky 1/8" stems took a long time to make. Flowers next.

Had to add a back to this sweet little quilt. Mom embroidered it some time ago, but the knots showed on the back, thus the required back. Then bound it.

Participated in a Mini Mystery Sew Along. It was fun! Came out to 21" square. Have decided to enlarge it by adding some more borders to 36" and donate it to our St. Anne's group at church.

My design wall is full of these projects.

I'm linking to Design Wall Mondays and Wednesday Wait Loss. Lots of interesting quilts there.  Oh, yes, I've added the first row to my mini flimsy. One or two more to go.

It was a busy month. Mom is doing well. She has some good days and some not so good. I think she does fine for a 99 year-old. 

That's it for the May month. What are you up to?  Leave a comment and I'll visit you to see how it's going at your house. Blessings!

What I've Been Up to These last Four Months

 Where does the time go? What with caregiving my mom, and trying to fit 7 days into 5, I find myself always on the go. And at 79, yes, 79 I find myself more stressed than normal. But I've tried to keep up with quilting even if I only do 15 minutes a day. Not that I get 15 in every day, but I do average about 4 a week.

So, what have I been up to? I'll get my photos on my cell and share.

January:

Quilted this UFO flimsy I bought at a yard sale. It was 8 blocks that were anywhere from 8 3/4" to 9 1/2".  Made them all 9 inches and constructed the center block. Made the flimsy in 2024 but didn't get it quilted until the first month of 2025. Gave to St. Anne's as a baby quilt measuring 36" square.

February:

My guild is having a block of the month quilt along. Here is February's  blocks - hearts 12" by 10".

March:

I joined a UFO completion project ( Dive into UFOs in 2025) and this is one for March to finish - a friend's old quilt needs a little love.  I had a dickens of a time finding material to match. Didn't find any but picked some 70s fabric to add to it.

Another finish - I made this from a leader-ender work with scraps. I call it The Holy Hour. My reminder of visiting the Holy Eucharist enclosed in a monstrance. The two outer rows are people in adoration and prayer.

April:

Besides a monthly UFO to work on, we have a quarterly UFO to also work on if we get done with our monthly challenge.  Mine was Love Entwined which I started in 2011!  Adding 1/8th inch wide stems here. Needless to say, I'm behind, but I do want to work on it.

April:

For April's monthly UFO, I'm working on a baby quilt that I'm calling Jewels. Got the idea from a photo I saw on the NET. 

Caught up for now. I'm linking to Wednesday Wait Loss. Give a look.

What are you working on?  Let me know and I'll come by and admire it.

Blessings,
