Done, Done, Done

Done, I’m done. All three of the kid’s quilts I am giving away are sewn, snipped, washed, dried, rewashed and redried and are ready to go to three little kids (see story here ). Last night I finished the third quilt for the older boy, 3 ½, and washed and dried it once.

Then I washed and dried it again this morning. I was very impressed with how the border blocks fit right to the body of the quilt and were neither lighter or heaver, especially since I used flannel for the blocks and polyester batting for the body.

Also last night I decided that there should be a quilt for the mother also so I am going to include this.

I have had this one in the studio for a few months, see posting about it here, and it just kind of jumped out at me saying “I need to go along with the rag quilts.” So this is what I will be sending with my daughter on Wednesday.

I am taking them all to Weight Watchers Monday since I snipped all through the meeting last Monday and was asked if they would be able to see the finished quilts (non-quilters there). I will also be taking them to guild on Tuesday (showing them off) and then to my daughter on Wednesday. I believe she will be taking them to the family on Thursday.

Today I tried getting back to some of my neglected projects. I am in an internet machine embroidery block swap. I had already done the embroidery part prior to the above tragedy so today I prepared the rest of the parts to the block.

I will probably sew them together tomorrow. I have two BOM’s to do, one due next week, and a quilt ready to be put on the frame. I am thinking about trying my first pantograph on it and am procrastinating, one of my finer accomplishments.
