We've had a little sewing in the past couple of week, two
Love quilts put together for hands2help. I really do Love them. This puts our total at 11 quilts. 5 are complete, 6 waiting to be quilted.
They had to wait a little while as I had Sandra's quilt on the frame. She made this for her granddaughter, all those tiny 1in squares and the gingham, this was definitely a spirit lifting quilt while quilting, bright and cheery. My first ever 4h sewing project was with pink gingham, a little apron. Pantograph is drunken feathers by Barbra Becker, glide thread on top and bottom. Quilters dream cotton batting
There's also a few more blocks finished for the Splendid Sampler. I didn't want to do the hand embroidery block and couldn't get it to digitize nicely so I found my own pattern. Lady slipper is wonderful isn't it? My fabric line is Lady Slipper Lodge so it's all good. Then I thought this lovely lady slipper needed a companion so I made this sweet butterfly.

ReplyDeleteSweet quilt on the frame! Love the large Carpenter stars - great pattern for a charity quilt. ANd you will quilt the threads out of them I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI love the Carpenter stars. They are awesome H2H quilts. I am sure you had fun with your boys,
ReplyDeleteSweet quilts and sweet babies! I really like that sampler block that is sort of like flying geese converging.
ReplyDeleteThe two quilts for H2H are wonderful! And I adore all those 1" squares. Your quilting looks wonderful!Thanks for linking up and sharing your progress
ReplyDeleteThose big stars are going to be so great when they are quilted! What adorable babies. They grow up SO fast; glad you're getting to spend time with them.
ReplyDeleteI love those big swoon blocks. (Or at least I think they are swoon blocks....). I couldn't figure out what you meant regarding the 1" blocks. OMG! I just noticed the bigger blocks are made up of all those little blocks. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThose star tops have me drooling - there are so many possibilities with the quilting! And the babies have me drooling too - but not in a creepy way, just a "how adorable are they" way! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe start quilts turned out beautifully. The quilting on the gingham quilt is perfect, I can't imagine sewing all those small squares together. Ahh, such cute little boys too. Looks like you had a pretty fantastic week.
ReplyDeleteGreat panto! I will have to look for that one. But those babies, wow! Just perfect!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilts and precious little ones.
