Design Wall Monday 11/15

Phew it has been a hectic few days, but with the Grace of God we have gotten through them.  My daughter had her baby early, 6 weeks early, so we were a little preoccupied with things other than quilting.  I did sit down last friday and start a quilt which I call a coverlet because a) it is only 2 layers - no batting, and b) it is to cover little Alan Vincent Stewart's layette unit to deflect the light in his corner of the NICU room.  Here is the quilt

The back is flannel and I clipped the edges as a one does a rag quilt in place of binding.  And here is a photo of Alan, our newest sweetie:


He's doing great for a preemie - breathing on his own and eating good.

Needless to say, I'll be happy if I get one shop hop block made this week as otherwise I will be busy.

Design Wall Monday 11/8

or back on track!  I've assembled the row, sandwiched it, and half quilted it.  Then i can added to the other two rows and I'll be 3/4ths done with the center of Em's ufo. 

See my fancy spool holder on left - LOL.
What's on your wall?  Go to Judy's posting to see what others are going to be doing this week.  And go to her newest post and see her great quilt block in the new Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks issue.

5 weeks 3 days to go

and she's looking it!
Happy to report she's doing well - so is baby.
Can hardly wait!

Stash Report 11/7

Well, I bought some - fabric that is - after so many weeks I succumbed to the sale at Jo-Ann's.  Picked up some cute baby fabric and a couple of panels.  This is what happens when you have a new DGB coming in just 6 weeks.  Now to get busy with it.

Used: 2 yard to make a charity quilt
Bought:  -13.25

Net for week  -11.25

Not good.  And how do I count 2 apron panels, 1 vest panel and 6 yds found at a yard sale that I brought home?

Probably not good either - LOL

Another Flimsy

I'm making the Raincross Quilt Guild's Block of the Month into baby quilts each month instead of blocks for an eventual quilt. Why? ...
