Making progress with paper piecing challenge

So I just added round 5 last night........the last two rounds have really taken a lot of time!
This is Carol Doak's round robin challenge  where I add a round to my quilt each month to Carol's specifications......  One more to go :0).

Elijah's quilt is done just in time!

Elijah was born on Wed.....a beautiful  8 pound baby boy!
And his quilt is already for a label and be mailed this week.  Oh happy day!

Happy Sewing!

Donation for a good cause

http://bumblebeansbasics.com/ Victoria over at Bumblebeans has taken on a quilt donation program....

first I made some blocks and mailed them along.........now Victoria has enough blocks to make 50 quilts!
But of course there is always a need for more.  So my  sample quilt from years ago is being sent to keep someone warm and let them know that many people care about them.
Happy Sewing

Elijah's top done

Well, I got Elijah's top done with some freestyle letters spelling out his name ( thanks to Tonya).....I think its pretty cute.
Next problem, Debby Brown ( my A#1 longarm quilter) is outta town!  So I think I am going to have to quilt this on my home machine.  Oh dear... wish me luck......

Oh and look what I gave myself for Mother's Day.......yes that is $200.00 worth of thread.

Get a move on!

Elijah is on the way and his quilt is not done! ( My friends grandchild) Come on get a move on!
I have been spending more time at my computer than my sewing machine these days....time to get it done :0)

Happy Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day.  My daughter and I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge!
It was a very cool windy day....we both have about 4 layers of clothes on trying to keep warm :0).
 

National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden

I just loved this sculpture........how many of us can remember using this style eraser?
"This sculpture presents a giant falling eraser that has just alighted, the bristles of the brush turned upward in a graceful, dynamic gesture."  (part of the written description) .

Happy Mother's Day :0)
