Just a bit of stitching before my trip

I'm in Alaska!  Our 4th grandbaby was born the end of January, and it's my turn to help the new mother out.  Hubby is still at home, so he is missing out on all the grandkids.  

In the week before I left, I got some blocks made.  I was behind on my Women of the Bible blocks.  I made one for Mary, mother of Jesus.  I also made one for Elizabeth, Mary's cousin, and one for the Canaanite Woman.

Elizabeth (10 inches)

I'm making these blocks with Civil War reproduction fabrics.

My Treadle On group is having a block of the month this year.  I stitched up January's and February's blocks.

I'm making these blocks with 1930's reproduction fabrics. 

I also wanted to make some things for my son and daughter-in-law's kitchen.  For Christmas, I made my daughter-in-law placemats, using Pioneer Woman fabrics, and I used some of the scraps to decorate some kitchen towels and washrags.

I also made some dish drying mats using more of the Pioneer Woman fabrics and a towel on the other side.

To fly to Alaska, I had to fly thru Seattle this time.  As we were coming in to land, I took a couple of photos of the Seattle skyline.  I even got one photo with Seattle just off the airplane wing.

I did get one photo of me holding my new granddaughter.  I'll get photos of her on her new quilts before I leave.

sleeping, as usual

Not much sewing going on for two weeks.  I do have a hand project with me, but I only got a chance to sew on it on the plane.  We'll see if I get any more stitching done before I come home.
