Hello Friends
I have been sewing. Even before mom's passing I was sewing. Spending all day in the hospital is hard so I would come home at night and go to the sewing room. Before she went to the hospital I took a Saturday to myself and made this unicorn pillow. It was for the Project Quilting 16.1 challenge-Mythical Creature.
It was big. It's 26x26. It's called Lisa the Unicorn by Elizabeth Hartman. My sister is Lisa so this will go to her.
I also worked on my word for the year. I had picked my word in October of last year and thought about changing it when my Aunt and Mom passed. But I decided to keep the word. This is also for Project Quilting 16.2-Ombre.
Time fades. I know that more than ever know. The letters were made with my book from Sam Hunter called Quilt Talk. I use that book for all of my lettering. I bought a light pad from Amazon to trace the letters so I didn't have to use a copier.
I also made 2 baby quilts for friends.
I have made 4 baby quilts in the last few months. And I almost hate to say it, but I had all of the supplies and didn't need to buy anything to finish them. It's almost sad really. But I suppose some people would be happy that they didn't need to shop. I like to shop, I just can't justify it when I have all of this fabric. I am working on 2 scrap quilts right now. I hope to give one to my Bestie soon for her retirement. It's long over due that she gets a quilt.
I do have a quilt retreat with my quilt guild in April. Maybe I can do some quilting on it then. I also have 2 quilt kits that I need to get cut up and ready to sew.
My mom would have been 78 on Monday March 3. I took the day off last year so I could take her out to lunch. I am keeping the day off and going to do something for me. Maybe quilt shop? LOL! Like I need to buy more fabric! I am in the process of rearranging and purging my sewing room. Hopefully my next post has updated pictures.
Talk soon!
Blessings
Amy
