I quilted the baby quilt this morning, need to add the binding and label, then it's done.  Yeah! me.
This rainy weather is helping me get stuff done, that I want to do.

Not that I have time right now, but in the future, would anyone be interested in quilted tablerunners, placemats, potholders and other small quilted items?   What about pillowcases?  [Pillowcases aren't quilted, but handcrafted from nice cotton.  Haven't made any in flannel, but could give it a whirl.]
I'll post a couple pictures of placemats and pillowcases I've made previously (they are all gone, gifted to friends and family).

The butterfly quilt is a doll quilt, I made a couple for my niece a few years ago.

I still have the "mug rug" that you sent with the very first quilt I ever bought!  It's seen a lot of wear and tear (I'm not always the neatest coffee drinker),  but it was just the right size for my big mug!

Yeah!  Glad you like it, guess, mug rugs would be a good choice for small items that could also easily be gifted.   I'll come up with something when I have time.

Been working on the blue/tan/grey quilt today, finished quilting, so time for binding.   So cute, I'm really liking this quilt.  Will try to get a picture of it when I'm done with the binding.

Two are finished.  Yeah!   Ready for mail, but box isn't sealed yet, so I can take to quilt guild on Monday, if I'm able to go.

Thank you, very much.  I'm rather pleased with how these two turned out.

Almost ready to get started on the next quilt.
Need to photograph and get ready for sale the new batch of fabric that arrived last week, while I was away for a couple days.  Lovely group of florals, some wildlife prints and some blenders.   And, I just ordered a small selection of Christmas fabrics, which I don't do very often, but these were too pretty to pass up.

Oh, that sounds exciting.  Never to early to plan for next Christmas season!!

Well, my little Ryan is trying to make his entrance a bit too early!!  We expect when he arrives he will be heading to the NICU, but of course, all of mine made early appearances and were "NICU" babies, so we're all prepared for what comes next.

I've been at the hospital most of the day, and just came home for clothes and a quick nap.  Then, back an hour to the hospital, and we'll wait it out some more.

Can't wait to see those fabrics, Chanda!!
