{Post 1,741} PA Visit & Strings Started

 

Our youngest daughter had a new baby girl 12/31/2000, and we went up (7 hour drive) to see her and the rest of her family for a few days (5, in fact). We had a marvelous time, but I had allergy problems while I was there. I had a sore throat, cough, fever, etc...all allergy symptoms. I am just feeling better today. 

In my recent sewing room clean-up, I found a stack of blocks (except for 5) that would make a good-sized quilt. I made the other 5 blocks. Yesterday I laid them out and picked them up to “web the top” a la Bonnie Hunter’s teaching. I love doing that because one ends up with one stack of blocks, sashing, and cornerstones that does not get turned around while assembling. Here is a picture of the blocks that have yet to be added and the second picture is what I have finished so far. I L-O-V-E the sashing color. Aqua/teal is my new color, and I’m trying to incorporate it into my home here and there. This quilt will be for us to keep.



Yesterday I also finished, labeled, washed & dried this beauty for a customer. It is 72” x 90”.


Last, but not least, is a pic of me and my new granddaughter. Babies are such a great way to start new people.
