More kids quilts

Life has been hectic lately. I started a new job last week. I miss my sewing time. I am going to try to get an hour or 2 in a day even though I am working but I am absolutely exhausted since I started. Hopefully I get used to working real soon and it is not an issue anymore. Sat/ Sun morning was spent working on my Quilts for kids Downy top. Yesterday, I got it in the mail and on it's way to Pennsylvania. This quilt was harder then any I have done before simply because I was tired and trying to get it complete. I noticed in the picture my border is a bit wavy. I am sure it will be enjoyed by some little boy regardless of the wavy border. It is hard to see in the picture but the main fabric is black with bright colored go carts on it!

baby quilt

I finally finished my pinwheel quilt. I delivered it to my hairstylist today and she seemed to like it. In fact, she said she was going to talk to me about commissioning a baby quilt from me and that made me feel real good :)I beat her to it though. The thing I found odd about this quilt was that I had a horrible time finding dragon fly fabric. it is funny how fabric that is in this year will disappear for next year. Taking that into consideration I just bought 6 yards of a fabric I liked because I may not see it again !

Another one

I just finished the last linus kit I had. I am hoping to drop it off at linus today. I started on my quilts for kids quilt. i should have all the blocks made by tonight.It will be nice to get those sent off too.This is my third linus quilt of the yer so far :)

Do UFO's grow when you are not looking???

I have been hearing so much about UFOs since new year's . Alot of people are working on finishing theirs. I have been thinking I don't have any ufo's. Boy was I wrong !! I found 6 this morning in various stages of the quilting process. 3 are tops ready to be quilted. 2 need sleeves and 1 needs to be finished into a top. That does not include the 3 quilts for kids I commited to and the baby quilt I am working on.Nor the 3 projects I have that I would like to get done before the holidays next year. I really hope my hand starts getting better. Right now I am thinking if I limit myself to 30-60 min a day I should be ok since i am resting my hand most of the day. Thankfully sewing does not really bother it to much most of the time since I don't keep my elbow bent for long periods while sewing. We will see how it goes but I would like to get these ufo's done before they grow again!!!!

January BOM

I just finished my January BOM. This is the first block of the month club I have ever done. Not my typical style but it is fun to do something out of my comfort zone. Saturday I bring it back to the quilt shop and get my February block :) I can't wait to see what it will be!

Quilts for kids 2

Another linus quilt.

Quilts for Kids

This is my first completed quilt for linus. I have one more kit to do for them. Then I have a kit from Downy quilts for kids coming. These programs donate quilts to sick kids in hospitals and kids who have suffered traumas.
