Outgoing...

The last few weeks have seen many things running under the needle and straight out of the house. A baby quilt, variation of this pattern, was finished up and gifted last weekend.
The recipient is a sweet baby girl who just so happens to have two older brothers. This quiltmaker decided her quilt needed to be delicate, feminine and personalized... just for her.

The embroidery machine has been humming, too. I made up some special burp cloths for another new baby. In between projects I've added names to a few shirts, an Easter basket and some draw-string bags, all of which have gone to live elsewhere.
Last Saturday the smart and talented Lady L. (with the assistance of Sundance) stopped by and quilted this vibrant baby quilt that is to be a gift for a family friend. She, and her equally smart and talented Mom, (Lady L. comes by it honestly) pieced this quilt as a team; now her Mom is finshing up the binding. It was a great way to spend the morning on National Quilting Day! One more beauty to be in, out, and on its way!
Life is Good!

Cute burp cloths, but I especially love that delicate baby girl quilt. : )

I had to laugh. Our guild is gearing up for a Quilt Show in November and I have been asked to be sure and having something in it. Well, almost everything I have made recently has been gifted and is being used. But doesn't it make you feel great?

Busy, busy, busy. Love the firetruck burp cloth but I think it needs a spotty dog. :-)
