Good afternoon ladies and gents!
I'm sitting here in the health care center where I am currently trying to survive a 65 hour shift (can't wait for Monday morning 8 am!) and betweeen seeing patients and watching soppy after lunch movies, I have time to sit down at the computer for a few seconds at a stretch and catch up on the group. I was particularly interested in the baby quilt posts: DH and the 3DD's came by earlier for a quick visit with me and Dh told me that a dear friend of ours is expecting her first baby. She lost a baby last year so she kept quiet until the 12 week danger zone had passed. I bought some fabrics last year with the intention of making her a baby quilt but never got around to using them. I like the warm wishes quilt idea presented in the baby quilts posts so I'll probably end up making that or a variation thereof. I have (or should be receiving soon) some gorgeous Debbie Mumm fabric that I will be fussy cutting and then I plan to use solid strips of matching colors (I was thinking yellow and green, but if I have time and find out the baby's sex, I might do pink and yellow or blue and yellow depending).
This is the fabric. What do you think?
Any ideas on matching fabrics?
I love this fabric!!
SIGH!!!!!
Another project with a due date to add to my ever growing pile of UFO's and WIP's!!! Let's see:
- DD2 Lucia's quilt top is all done and needs to be sandwiched and quilted
- Double wedding ring lap throw attempt is ready for sandwiching and quilting
- My king size quilt as you go log cabin quilt is still being assembled (strips and batting and backing all cut and ready)
- Lucia's (a friend) sampler quilt in neutral shades, all cut and ready for assembly. Need to cut the batting squares and backing on that one!
- Maria's (another friend) moondance quilt all quilt and partially assembled.Not even thinking sandwich yet!
-Ingrid's (yet another friend - Lucia, Maria, and Ingrid are sisters) monkey wrench quilt has survived the planning designs and fabric buying stages and is currently waiting to be cut.
- Irene's Sun Bonnet Sue quilt is in the design and planning stage with the fabrics already bought.
- DD1 Laura wants a hip girlie make-up, clothes, fashion card trick quilt; fabrics are waiting to be cut once the design gets off EQ.
- DD2 wants a veternarian/animal quilt that is still in the brainwave stage.
- And now this baby quilt!!!
Of course, all of this is in addition to my knitting (whcih for some reason seems to have taken me by storm again and I currently have 2 WIP's and 3 waiting to be assembled pieces. And cross stitching, which, I will admit, I have neglected for the past few weeks after completing the stitching of 12 traditional patchwork blocks designs converted to cross stitch to be assembled into a birthday calendar for my patchwork teacher (Note to self: MUST be finished before October
2nd when patchwork classes resume!).
Anyone want to sell me a few hours of their day?????
