One more finish...One more Badger Win!

 

Another Wisconsin WIN!  WooHoo!  At this rate I will finish more quilting projects!

Tonight I finished a baby quilt for a baby whose Grandma died after a valiant battle with cancer seven months before her first grandchild was born.  I promised her I would sew quilts for her grandbabies. 

This is for the second little guy who arrived a few weeks ago. 

 

Hopefully this will be our last snow of the spring!  (I don't really believe it. )It kept snowing about two hours after this picture.  We received about six inches of slush. As six year old Kasey and I were driving home in near white out conditions she said, "Grandma, I think it will be winter eternally!"

This is Spring?

The calendar says it is spring.  However, it definitely doesn't look like it at our home. We had another 10 inches of snow this past week. 

 

Tonight while watching the NCAA March Madness, I was also sewing at the dining room table. I have finished two more baby quilt  tops that I had started earlier. 

Our neighbors are expecting in May.  One of them will go to Jerry & Haylee's 

new baby.

With the Badgers wining tonight.. I will have another night of quilting when they play in the Sweet 16 next week! 

Go Badgers!!

National Quilting Day!

Finally after several weeks away from my sewing machine I was able to spend a few hours quilting!

My first project was to finish a very belated graduation gift.  Last spring I gave her a gift bag with three of the blocks.  I took it back to sew all the blocks together and quilt it.  I delivered it yesterday.  She loved it!

  I had previously started each of these baby quilts.  I sewed on the boarders of the Lil' Cowboys quilt.

The Pinwheels and Prairie Points quilt needed the prairie points sewn and the the borders needed to added.

Kasey stayed with us for  a week while her parents were on vacation.  Her blankie is six years old.   Several years ago we started sewing patches on it as it would wear out.  I didn't realize it was going to be around this long.   The blankie had developed holes in the patches.  She decided I should cover all the patches.  I took this picture before we covered them up.  She picked out all the patches from my stash as we sewed them on.

It felt SO good to sew again!
