First of all....have you noticed the picture at the top of blog changed. I've been thinking of my Mom a lot lately. She died in June 2010. She loved living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and loved living on Big Lake Manistique. After she died I moved up there to take care of my Dad. I loved taking pictures around the property. This was a piece of driftwood she found and kept it down near the lake. Pleasant memories.
Now for some sewing.
Last week I was asked if I would make a baby quilt. They don't know if it is a boy or girl and she wanted a rubber duck on it. This is what I came up with.
The blocks are 8" finished. And the quilt is 40" square. I used a Moda white jelly roll for the background. For the pinwheels I used a Layer Cake called from Baby to Bump. The duck is hand appliqued and I got the design from a free image web site. I just had to enlarge the image. I hope she likes it.
Next up....I finished hand quilting my little log cabin quilt.
I'm really happy with the with the way it turned out. It took longer than I expected to hand quilt it.
I recently purchased a small Tumbler die for my Accuquilt Go. I cut a couple hundred of them from some charm squares I had. This is what I made from a few of them.
I quilted this 1/4" inside the tumblers only in one direction.
And finally....
I started working on Cheri's Sew Along that she has generously shared on her blog. There are 25 blocks and it has an applique on the border. I have the 3 blocks above made and have plans on making another one today. I plan on making a block a day. I was so busy working on my Ohio Sampler quilt that I didn't have time to work on this.
The sun is shining and a nice breeze is blowing. The windows are open and the birds are singing. And I am happily going into my sewing room to play.
Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by.
Hugs, Cathy
