I've been busy the past few weeks, trying to finish up some Giraffe baby quilts. I have one more to quilt and bind, but that baby isn't due until April.
First, hubby was invited to a diaper shower downstate. The new to be father is a hiking buddy of hubby's. This baby needed more than just diapers. Everything but the backing fabric was already in my stash.
The backing is orange Minkee, and the binding is the same fabric I used for the binding for my son's wedding quilt.
The father to be's mother is also a quilter. I was invited to come quilt with her during the diaper shower. What fun! I got to check out her vintage sewing machines, and also meet up with one of her quilting buddy's (Sharon) who also reads my blog. What a fun day!
I also finished another Giraffe quilt for my granddaughter's first birthday. Gwendolynn loves Sophie the Giraffe on TV. Since Sophie the Giraffe is in regular giraffe colors, Gwendolynn's quilt needed to be regular giraffe colors, too. I'd found this great backing, minkee type fabric, at a thrift store, and had all the other fabrics in my stash, including the binding.
Since I don't free motion quilt, I decided to try some new things with my walking foot for the quilting on both of these quilts. Really simple patterns in the blank spaces above the giraffe's heads, and I just outlined the inside and outside of the giraffe bodies.
The pattern is Lorna's from Sew Fresh Quilts.
I've also been working on my Harry Potter: Project of Doom blocks. I've finished these two blocks.
I've finished another block, but haven't washed the wash away product that I used for some of the embroidery. I'll show it soon.
I'm almost finished with my RSC19 Yellow blocks. Hopefully they will be done later this morning. I'm also hoping to finish my Crazy quilt this week. It will be in a quilt show the last weekend of March. The Camp Tuckabatchee 'Little Cabin in the Woods' quilt show will be March 30 & 31, 2019 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Ottawa, IL. If you are anywhere near here, I'd love to have you come. It's a great quilt show. This is my first year to help with the quilt show. I've attended the show many times over the past years.
