A sew Day

If I were a kid, that would be like a snow day! Actually here today,, it's both.

Here are the two lap quilts I completed for my sister. Mother embroidered the horse blocks and I put them together and then machine quilted them.


Here is a darling baby quilt I just finished piecing. It has a total of 1063 pieces in it. You might think it's for the princess we are expecting in April. Well it could be. However there is a
co-worker's of BT that is expecting her second child. If it's a girl she will get this. Otherwise, you can bet the granddaughter will get it.
Now I need to piece a blue one, just in case the co-worker has a boy!
Happy sewing.

    I didn't realize the pink one was a log cabin until I enlarged it. What a cute setting.

    I wish I could have a Sew Day today. I am really in the mood to stay home and paper piece.

    Love both the quilts-but especially the first since your mom embroidered the blocks. Stay warm!!

    Congratulations on your exciting news as well!! My son kept saying princess last night so I giggled when I read the quilt may or may not go to your princess. It sounds like she will be just as loved as ours!!

    I am assigned the job of helping with the nursery as well. Once my DIL picks out the bedding, I can get busy!!
