Turtles ready...

Turtle pieces in place on baby quilt... 
 Machine applique to go! 
They will be much more defined then...

DD2's new baby sheets, towels, clothes, baby clothes, etc, plus DD1's wonderful thrift store baby clothes finds ($5 a bag full x 2) are all washed and ready for our angel. Sorted into boy's and girl's boxes. All ready to be used...

Mr&Mrs.Rose's new house (previous post) is apparently in place, and tomorrow we help clean and move everything in... I hope they have a few days to enjoy it before they are joined by baby...

Hope you are having a great week!

Another Baby Quilt Top...

I made a quilt top a while ago for my first grandchild, thinking it was to be neutral, for girl or boy, but found it to suit a baby girl more. So, I decided to make another quilt top more suited to a baby boy. That is what I've been working on here and there this last while since we've been home from our time away... Only thing I have to do yet is add a turtle applique...
Once baby makes its way into the world I will complete the appropriate quilt... 8-)
Our Mrs Rose (DD2) is looking wonderful, and feeling great! Can you believe she hasn't gained a pound!!

These two are busy bees right now, and we are all hoping baby can wait another week... Read "why" above my posts...

Their house did come today...
 It will be put in place tomorrow...

I put a poll on my right sidebar to see how many are interested in taking part in my Mystery Quilt-Along... 
(As if I need to be doing this MQA with
everything else going on around here!!! 
Like I need a hole in my head too!!! LOL!)
Anyway, I sure would appreciate seeing what 
the results might be on the poll... 8-)

It has been well over a week since I've posted, and much longer since I've caught up on visiting all those special bloggers that I follow, as well as those that leave comments on my posts... Once this crazy time that we've been experiencing is over, and I don't feel so overwhelmed, my blogging practices will resurface I am sure...

Till then, take care and 
happy stitching friends! 8-)

That's better...

 Applique glued in place, stabilizer pinned on, ready to be sewn on... 8-)
... and yesterday's "issue" was fixed! 8-)
Here is where the problem was. Somehow this whole section got flipped the wrong way...? 
I had to fix it!! 8-)
Feeling good! 

Thanks for your comments/suggestions 
on yesterday's post!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

On my display wall...

 Well, I got my rows done today for my 
grand-babies Sunlight, Sunbright quilt...
I probably would have had them all sewn together today, but I was short on my "stash" pink, to put them together as the pattern said (strip-pieced, tubed, cross-cut). I had to do a lot of picking and restitching to pull it all together. I only had to join 2 small pieces of pink to make 1 more square, to make that last row... 8-)
Yippee!!

I leave you with a photo of my Dora...
Happy stitching, as well as a great weekend!
