Two days for me

My babysitting schedule has changed a bit. I now have Wednesdays and Thursdays off from watching my grandson. Yesterday I decided to pull out these blocks that I started last year. Moda had an alphabet blog hop. I did a pretty good job keeping up with them. Then something came up and I didn't get the rest of the letters made. 

 This will be a quilt for Damien to sleep under when he is at grandma's house.

 I did get the letter K made.

 And speaking of quilts for my grandson. The mailman brought a box up to my door that I was not expecting. Stephanie from the "Rummage" blog sent an all corduroy quilt for Damien. She washed it already and it is the softest quilt ever. To me it is softer than flannel. It is a small quilt which will be perfect to use when he is in his car seat or stroller. Thank you so very much Stephanie. Such a sweet thing to do.

Just in case you want to try to make some corduroy quilts you can look for a book that Stephanie wrote, Uncommonly Corduroy. There are some fabulous designs in this book. I have seen the book at JoAnn's and in the Connecting Threads catalog.

 Yesterday I also got my last Bertie's BOM ironed on the back ground and the half square triangles made for the borders.

 Today the Applique Addicts had our first meeting of the year. We are working on a raffle quilt when our guild hosts the symposium in a few year.All the blocks are different orchids and will be done in batik fabrics.  I have two blocks to make which I hope to start next week. Charlotte got hers appliqued. Isn't it so pretty?

  Joyce made this wonderful clutch.

 I worked on these two blocks.

  Look at this fabulous table topper Jane made. It is a Primitive Gatherings pattern.

 Brenda was also working with some wool to make a strawberry table runner.

 It has been two good days for sewing for me. Hope you had time to do some sewing too.

With Passion,
