Life is pretty good when one can play in these two realms: granddaughters and fabric scraps. And the scraps of late have come from my tub of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Scrumptious stuff, indeed.
Old business - I promised to share more complete looks of two projects from last week. First, the baby quilt I removed from the long arm machine. Geesh, what a lot of bother. Thread breakage isn't fun, and towards the end of quilting this, I had a lot of breakage. But it's done now and baby Reagan seems perfectly content with her new Effie's Woods quilt.
Quilting pal Jan gave me her scraps ages ago, knowing my little darlings would be in need of cuddly quilts. I took the panels and some scraps to make the center part, then just found pretty larger pieces for borders, backing, and binding.
My other effort has been to work through the 4-patch blocks I'd made using Kaffe Fassett remnants. I am so excited to get this top put together. I have all the horizontal rows connected with chain-stitching and have begun the vertical rows. It's gonna' be a sizeable thing at 18x22 rows measuring 72"x88".
If all goes as planned, I will have the top completed either late today or tomorrow.
And, I mustn't leave out my other granddaughter, so I will close with a picture of Cate helping Grandma make buttermilk pancakes. We had the pleasure of babysitting her on Saturday; this was a fun activity.
I hope you have a pleasant Monday! I will be off to my mom's for a portion of the day which promises to be warm pretty here in southern Ohio. We'll find something to get into, I'm sure.
Happy Quilting, Friends!
Jayne
