and I just can't tell you how excited I am! All of the ladies who participate just inspire and encourage me to take a look at what's in the "to do" pile and work on something with the goal of finishing it off faster than if I wasn't taking part in WIP Wednesdays.
This week I've been working on quilting the Quilts of Comfort quilt. This is a quilt that when finished, will be donated to a cancer patient at our local cancer center.
Here it is before the outside sashing has been completed and sewn on.
The nurses have told me they will pick out a patient they know will really love and appreciate the thought and wishes behind the quilt. The huge hearted ladies from the IMQG graciously lent their hands and creativity to make the blocks for me in our bee.
Last week I had two requests to showcase a block and a quilt.
Melanie from Sew, Mama, Sew! did a blog entry for them on What's New?~Sewing Trends focusing on color palettes. She asked to use my Vintage meets FMF block for "Sunshine".
I'm so tickled that the block is with other vintagey, quiltey goodness. Definitely good company!
Then, Heather from Modern Day Quilts asked to share the back of the Robert Kaufman challegen quilt on her blog which features one modern quilt a day. There are some fabulous and outrageously gorgeous quilts on there! The diamonds in Bohemian Quilt are just breathtaking!
So for the week, no new fabric bought, but I need thread! lol
No new projects and the quilting on the Quilts of Comfort is coming along nicely.
I've also been able to spend time the last two days outside working in our flower gardens. Splitting hostas, planting perennials, hanging Mother's Day baskets, and tidying up the yard.
A good week all in all.
I'll be joining up with Lee at Freshly Pieced to share my quiltey progress and see what all the other ladies have been up to! You should check out Lee's post on her Mod Times quilt. I love the colors and the tranquility that just oozed from this quilt.
Blessings and springtime blossome to you all!

ReplyDeleteHi. I just discovered your blog and I love it! I have been in bed recovering from surgery and happily going through and reading your old posts and really enjoying exploring all the links and inspiration quilts you show. Thanks for helping my recovery! I can't wait to be up and sewing again!
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors you choose, these are the same colors I am picking for my bee request next month. The quilt top looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful and I know that the person who receives it will be overwhelmed with joy and feel very blessed. I had my last chemo treatment yesterday and my sister had made me a lap quilt when I first started treatment that I drapped over my legs every time. It meant so much to me and reminded me that she was with me every step of the way. I"ll pray for your mom and your family as you go through this difficult journey. God Bless you.
