Another Eat, Play, Sleep, Repeat Quilt

Last night was the Bingo Extravaganza and I'm happy to report that the baby quilt basket brought them $130. More would have been nice, but I know that someone who wanted it placed the winning bid. So yea! Success!

Here is the second of these Moda quilts. This one is for Kaison in Colorado.

I quilted it with Here Comes The Sun panto and Omni gray thread.

I made burp cloths to match

And a taggie blanket.

It wasn't until I took the final photos of this quilt that I realized the 't' in repeat is lined up with the top of the 'a' rather than the bottom of the 'a'.

The package has been received and is well liked.  When I mentioned it to Mandy, she replied, "My grandmother always said nothing is ever perfect and she made a small mistake in every quilt she made. It makes this quilt so much more special." That made me feel pretty good."

Here's the backing, which I love, although Dan didn't care for it. (and Dottie agreed with him!)

Quilts For Kids

Last month I went to the sewing day for the Indiana Quilts For Kids and I made these two trip quilts.

I quilted them this week using Here Comes The sun panto, which I LOVE!, and used white Omni thread and one has Warm and Natural and one has Hobbs 80/20 batting.

I hope to get the binding on this evening so I can take them to tomorrow's sewing day.

If you are in the area and interested in sewing for this wonderful group, we will be at Bethany Presbyterian Church in the Fellowship Hall from 9-4. You don't have to bring a machine, but can if you want. There will be kits to choose from, cutting and ironing to be done if you don't want to sew.

All the quilts make through this group go to the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.
