A Little of This and That...

I received my September flowers from my partner. All the way from Denmark. I love them. They are so pretty!!

I have been quilting my second baby blanket for my Granddaughter. This is the largest of the three quilts. I have all of the quilting done now. I am having a lot of fun playing with FMQ. I can't wait to have these done.

My partner in the Appliqued Coaster Swap sent my coasters. I love them. They are so cute. 

 Here are the backs. They are great!!

For my PQA sewing group I mad 8 of these little block for the row I made for my partner. She loved it. 

Here is the row.

Maniac Monday

 I had a very good week. Got some sewing done. I went to my sister-in-laws house on Tuesday and spent sometime with her sewing. My DD#1 came home for the weekend from college and we spent most of Friday sewing. Saturday DD#1 and DD#2 and I went to a quilt show and had a good time there. 

I have finished with the Red, White, and Black Strip Quilt. It is all bound and washed. I love the way it turned out. My daughter has decided she does not want it until she graduates from High School in May. So it is in a Curio Cabinet that I got from my husbands family. 

 Here is the back. Yes I will get a label on it when I give it to her. HA HA

I am working on a few UFO's. There are three matching tiny baby quilts that I am making for my Granddaughter. This is the smallest one. I am playing around with some free motion quilting. 

The colors are all weird in this one but the quilting is finished. Now I just need to do the binding and quilt the other two. Do you think and dark purple would look ok as a binding? 

Here is my Schnibble for September. I did it in fall colors with a fun fall background. I am going to  finish this one and put it on my kitchen table. 

I hope you all have been productive in at least a small area of your lives.

Maniac Monday

It is a good Monday. Many thins are getting back to "normal". I think I am am almost back into a routine. It is so funny to think I have had hard time. The only major thing that has changed is my daughters going back to school. DD#1 off to collage and D#2 to high school. It has just turned my world over. LOL!!

I signed up to do a swap over at Quilting Gallery. It was for a set of 4 coasters. They are so cute. 

Here are the 4 I sent off to my partner. I love them. I have not received mine yet but soon I hope. 

 The backs.

 She is starting up a new swap. You will make two fall Mug Rugs and then swap them with your partner. I have already signed up. Jump on over if you are interested.

My sister-in-law had a baby over the summer and I have not had time to make her a gift. So last week I cut some time to do that. I made here a nursing cover. I used this pattern. Very simple to make.

Then I made her six sets of matching receiving blankets and burp cloths. I just serged around the edges. 

My cousin called a couple of weeks ago and told me her daughter had a 4H auction coming up very soon and her daughter had not done anything to help raise money. My cousin asked if I had any quilts I could donate for her. I went searching for a quilt I could part with and came across this one that was just a top and back. I quickly put it together did some diagonal straight line quilting. Wrapped the binding around from the back and TADA I had a quilt. I has so shocked to find out that the quilt went for $175.00. WOW!! I am glad it helped them out but also that someone bought something I made with scraps for that much money. HAPPY DAY!! So now to be help the daughter of the cousin know you don't get anything for free I am having her go help pull weeds at the house of my sister-in-law for the above items. It all comes around don't you think.

The Back. 

I hope you all have a good day.
