Not much sewing has happened here during
the past week. I was asked to take care
of a sick granddaughter since she could not go with the rest of the family.
Before I left, I did finish this baby quilt for a nephew’s new baby girl.
I fussy cut the alphabet blocks from fabric I
had. Almost could not get all the
letters because when I would cut one out, the closer letters could not be used.
I had to find another place on the fabric with those letters. I actually copied
2 letters onto fabric sheets with my printer. I used needled polyester
batting and minimal quilting with soft and comfy fabric on the back. I am happy with the end result.
With scraps of soft and comfy fabric I made
a few taggies also for baby gifts. (Soft and comfy on one side and quilting
cotton on the other.)
I like the
contrasting elephant ear better.
I have several quilts sandwiched and waiting
quilting. I have struggled with how to
quilt them. I finally started quilting
the Broken Herringbone quilt with a couple rows of wavy, wavy design from
Angela Walters. It creates a nice texture, but I will use several different designs on other parts of the quilt.
Hope you enjoy time sewing or quilting.
