Baby Quilts

I’m so behind in my quilting! There’s just never enough time to do all I want to do in my sewing room! Can you tell I’m addicted??
I have pieces for five baby quilts sitting on the work table. Four of them are in every shade of pink, with sashing that has tiny pink rosebuds. Two more are sailboat patterns that are in bright colors with a multi-colored microdot background.
What will likely happen is that four of the pink quilts will come together quite quickly. I have the fabric for the sashing and borders to cut, but once they are cut, the rest will go together in no time.
The sailboat pieces are cut, but I have to sew and then sub-cut about 150 pieces, At that point I can assemble the sailboat blocks, and the pinwheels that alternate with the boats.
Both of these projects came about because I wanted to see what I could create from the stash I have on hand, and because my family is so darned busy making babies!
I need to get several of these done so that I can give them before the little girls are 21. I’m waiting to hear whether I need to make a quilt for a boy.
There must be something in the water…..

The Amaryllis that Saved Itself

Remember the amaryllis that I was going to throw away??
Well, that bulb that saved itself by sending up a bud on a two inch stalk, eventually grew to be THIRTY-SIX INCHES tall! It’s so tall, I had to add a bamboo stake to the pot to help it stand, and I’m going to have to find something sturdier to hold it now that all four blooms are open.
This, is what I have been blogging about:
