Busy! Busy!

I have not been slacking off~ just really busy trying to get ready for my

local retreat next week.  I am cutting, pressing, shopping :-o

and getting there!

I am also quilting!  The binding fix I showed a couple posts ago worked like a charm!

Here is the quilt I finished and sent off to a friend going through a rough time.  

The blocks were made by a group of us, friends of the recipient, and I put the top together, quilted, bound and sent it on its way.  It has been received, so I can show you now.  We each made blocks that would make her think of us.  One likes pink, another is a blue/tan fan, we have a Peanuts lover and a chicken lover. LOL It makes quite a conversation quilt. ;-)

 

 

I've also been working on some of my Mom's quilt tops so I can return them to her this summer.

This is just a peek, until she sees it in person. ;-)

And I've been cutting out bags to take along to sew at retreat. Here is one~

~all cut out, interfacings attached, handles pressed and ready for some serious sewing!

It is going to be a diaper bag for my DS's newest addition, due in August.

They love Marvel comics, so how could I not use that fabric?! LOL

The pattern is the Nappy Bag from Mrs H.

 

So, see? Busy! I am off to work on quilting another top for my Mom, and cutting out a couple more

things for retreat.   

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!
