Dormant too long

Although I have had occasional sewing time, not recording time. Work has been busy, and stressful. And now only about 3 weeks left in the semester! Thank goodness!

Let’s start the review!

My guild has a penny mini ‘raffle’ each month for a donated small quilt. The proceeds are then used as a scholarship for members to take a class the guild sponsors. This is what I donated, and another kit off my shelf. The guild is very philanthropic and I found a layer cake on sale at last years quilt show. Bought some more of it on sale and am working on a twin size quilt.

First time using the Cake Mix papers. It does help with perfect hst’s, but a hassle removing all the paper. I tested out different suggested lay outs. I am now up to 14 blocks done. No set deadline, so not rushing it.

Hailee is having a baby! She is from work and this is their first baby. Love how this came together! I made fewer blocks for a baby size, and all the fabric was on hand! Jeanette will be quilting it with an elephant theme.

This was made about 25 years ago when I was in Oklahoma and just learning to quilt! I made the center block, Barbara made the turkey tracks border, I think Kim did the next border, Alice the last border and Susie added the appliqué. I had started hand quilting it, just one of the inner borders, so have sent it to Jeanette to complete the quilting. It is way past time to get it done!

Tiffany announced her engagement so I started the quilt pattern I had bought for her a long time ago called Cat’s in Space. I changed the color of the cats to match hers, and used my own fabric. Only bought the cat & helmet fabrics for this one!

The guild had a runner class that I took part in. Another member commented she was going to do extra blocks and an extra border to make it the right size for hospice bed runners. I thought it was a great idea and did the same.
