This will be a suprise for my sister, who organized the same Bee to make a Pink wall hanging to help me get through the five separate surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy I had for Breast Cancer. When it is finished and before we present it to her, I will post a photo. The Bee members took a lot of time and care to make lovely blocks (and they ALL measure 12-1/2 inches unfinished!).
p.s.- My bee is also called Sew'n'Sews. |

I also recently made a Hanging Santa wallhanging that I didn't have time to finish before Christmas.

Today I made a doll using Minkie for Olivia's first birthday which is Sunday. I'm dressing it in her "coming home from the hospital outfit. Need to quilt a tube quilt and make some summer clothes for me and for Olivia.

I am quilting a top I piece and appliqued a year or so ago and am going to give it two the girlfriend of one of my grandsons at our monthly birthday party next weekend. Have to hurry. Just finished a graduation quilt (only a month late, pretty goods for me) and I have been working on a Vintage Valentine BOM for my granddaughter. I just received the center medallion and hope to get it appliqued this week or next. I am quilting as I go so it should go pretty fast. I have gone through my UFOs and pulled out the ones that only need the binding, there were 3, and I am going to get those done in the next few days. At some point I have got to stop and clean my house!

kaptt, like your b-line frame:) I have the same one, I put the HQ 16 on it after it sat for a year. I did one baby quilt with my brother 1500 and spent to much time rolling and clamping, unclamping.

now I have to go find the pattern and make one ;) |
Start and Eagle Applique/quilted wall hanging today. Just learned the morning our nephew and his wife are expecting twin, so will be starting 2 baby quilts very soon. Hoping for a boy and girl, but need to know before I get to far on the quilts. Each quilt will have 24 blocks. Can do a few of the blocks as they can be used for either boy or girl, then will need to know to finish the rest.
