Oh how much fun is it to send off surprises to special people! They don't know they are getting these in the mail!
I have been making these two quilts for twin boys...great great nephews...born in April of this year.
I also decided to send a couple of other quilts along to complete my culling of quilts.
I don't know about you, but passing quilts on, even though it is hard to part
with them gives one a very special feeling.
I finally figured out the label thing. Oh goodness why does it take me so long to learn things? My private teacher Helen too five minutes and there it was, a label.
So, away I went and made four of them in minutes. Next, I am going to do the freezer paper thing. The fabric from the
purchased quilt label package was very
stiff, so I had to machine sew it on the
quilt.
I am really pleased how it all turned out.
I returned home from dentist, who is in the city, driving such an exotic car that I didn't know what kind it was. Tells you where the money is doesn't it?
Anyway, he is a great dentist, so an implant is on the way for my
dazzling smile.
Anyway, I returned home to a lovely package of 1930s fabrics from Shay in Australia. (Quilting in my Pyjamas for those that don't know) and oh my, I am through with all my stash busting for now. I am going to make something with what Shay sent and add (Quilt On) Bev's fabrics also.
Making a quilt larger than 65-70" is a challenge for quilting on the machine. But, there is a Mennonite group on my way home, so I am asking on Tuesday when travelling once again to the city, if they take the quilts to hand quilt. Would that not be something?
