    For Baby

    My first grandchild will arrive in November. Parents do not want a lot of extra stuff. What are the homemade essentials? A Tummy Time quilt for sure!

    Sewing for baby

    What is most useful and practical? I don't think babe or babe's parents will appreciate tedious piecing?

    I have found the shops out here in Oakland/Berkeley to be very friendly. You might pop in to New Pieces or Bay Quilts.

    A dear friend passed away There are many squares of batting left behind. My friend was devoted to charity quilting.
    Would someplace like Habitat for Humanity want potholders?

    Christmas in July

    Any new ideas? Place mats, aprons, pillows, totes? My gang always appreciates new potholders, etc. but I'd love to do other projects. The "Ornament of the Year", I have no idea!! Let's brainstorm!

    Well, about my top... I did not realize washing the unquilted top in the washer would create a thread disaster on the back. Big, big mess. Now I know never to do that again!!!
