Jonah turned one yesterday! Unfortunately, he's in Wisconsin. I think he liked the cake!

Here's my first
BOM. It was from a quilt shop in Arlington, TX, that is out of business. The fabrics are all
Thimbleberries. A friend of mine and I participated in this
BOM - it was the kind where you pay $5 for the first month, and if you bring the completed block back the next month, you get it for free. It was a number of years ago, so I don't really remember how much I actually paid for the blocks. I sewed this together in sections, quilted the sections and then sewed the sections together and slip stitching the backing together. I decided that I didn't like this method of quilting. This was the biggest quilt that I had every quilted by machine - and I think it still is the biggest. It's twin size.

Here is a small runner I made for this desk. I have been wanting to make something for this desk for a long time! It might be my only finish for May. I have lots of
WIPs though.
Hee Hee!

I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and appreciate the sacrifice of many for our freedoms.
I think someone enjoyed their birthday cake very much. LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour sampler quilt is very nice. Those $5 block month deals really net the shops a lot of additional business.
Great pictures. Thank you and your Son for your sacrifice. I will keep him in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless
Which shop did you get your sampler from? I live in Arlington! Your quilt is lovely...
ReplyDeleteYou have really ADORABLE grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteBoy, I'm glad I found your blog. We have similar tastes in many things. This photo of Abigail is adorable. My granddaughter is Abigail and was born with lots of dark hair.
