I went to a class today to learn about wool applique. I'm making a little round pumpkin mat for the center of dining table. I only got the pumpkins & stems fused to the background. LQS ran out of 2 of the colors of floss I need, so that project is on hold.
I'm finishing a Sun Bonnet Sue/Irish Chain quilt for my 3 year old niece. I'd hoped to enter it into a quilt show this weekend, but I've had to keep stopping because I decided to make it needle turn and found out the hard way that needles are all nickel-plated. I have a nickel allergy so my hands keep swelling up & turning red and splotchy so it's not done yet. I've got most of the piecing done, have 7 of the applique blocks completely done, need to add sleeves on 2 blocks & need to add sleeves & hats on 3 blocks. Maybe it will be done some time next week.
Don't feel too badly about the quilt for your nephew. I finished the quilt for my nephew's birth 2 weeks after he was born. He's still had plenty of time to enjoy it. Babies aren't supposed to sleep with bedding anymore & tummy time doesn't start until they're at least 4 weeks old so as long as you get it done sometime this month, you should be good.
