I quilted 2 more baby quilts over the weekend, and got them bound, washed and delivered to the new babies on Wednesday.

I still have one more baby quilt to quilt.
I stitched more string blocks last week. This time I made them the correct size and direction. I didn't get them trimmed until today. I already had 4 string blocks made (the correct size).

| 28 string blocks |
 |
| 5 more string blocks |
Now to start making the
spool blocks for the exchange. I think I figured out the math to make half size blocks with the strings that I stitched the wrong size.
I also finished 8 more striped circle blocks.

I think I'm over half way done with these now. These are my hand project that I stitch at work. I usually get an hour a day to stitch. I haven't been working every day since Covid, since my home health care client's wife hasn't been working very often. I'm not needed if she is at home. (More time to get my sewing done when I'm off).
Vicki over at
Vicki's Crafts and Quilting has been knitting sweaters for kids. I had her knit a sweater for my granddaughter. My son sent photo's when the sweater arrived yesterday.

Yes, the sweater is large, but she can grow into it. Since she lives in Alaska, she will get lots of wear out of the sweater.
She is just a doll!! She'll get at least 2 season's of use from it. Thanks for the link to my blog!
