Lots of snow outside means lots of time inside to get a few things done. Here are three. 

First is another charity for Basically Babies. "Monkeying around with a Giraffe" is just a simple panel. The dark binding set it off. I quilted it with a panto called "Amour" with big swirly hearts.

This "Blue-Green Blends" uses the same panto. It is a lap quilt size and still, I have more blue scraps. They must multiply in the night when I'm not looking!

The color in this photo is way off. It is very blue and green, a tiny bit of red in one narrow border. But too cold outside to take the picture in daylight.

 

 

Last one is a fun project a quilter friend challenged our bee group to try. I didn't like it until the binding went on. Now it is done, no clue what to do with it, but fun to look at!  

No name for LS-Colors other than it is a bit of a description, LS meaning long stitch. This fabric called my name in a store that was not in business very long. Very crabby owner, but she did know how to pick attractive merchandise.

Slow with looking at comments :-(

 Just realized I've not checked for posts for a looooong time. So sorry to those whose posts are legit. However, I do not post business advertisements, links to other non-related blogs or pages, and the occasional post advertising immorality. 

I made a batch of blocks out of leftovers from the last two quilts. They will go into a scrappy one when there are enough of the right colors, etc. Had only a few tiny pieces left that will be used for leader/enders. It feels good to put them to use. Scottish me. No photo until they are part of a top...

Finally

 After putting fabrics in neat order and moving furniture a tad, I have two quilts done... not too exciting. One is from a panel and the other from some charm squares. The first is "Animal Adventures" and I used a panto called "Animal Crackers" to quilt it.

I was going to call the other one "Found in a Strawberry Patch" but that could offend, so called it "Sweet as a Berry." It is ditch quilted on my Bernina, so that was relaxing.

Both will go to a local group called "Basically Babies" who supply a year's layette for new babes in needy families. This is a huge undertaking -- more than 800 families receiving them this year. 

BB does a lot of work to make sure the items all match and are not just a hodge-podge of things baby's need. I'm not certain all the layettes get quilts but I'll do what I can and our Guild will pass them along.

I have a large box of fabrics to make little quilts like these, and the plan is to empty the box, then get on with larger pieces... and get more of those scraps used up.  

Our new home still needs some pictures hung, etc. but I made a couple dozen muffins today, and "normal life" seems not too far away. Also 'normal weather' keeps me at home. We had several inches of snow last week with very cold temps, then it warmed up, started to melt, and freezing rain today made the streets too much for any ambitions to go out. So I can sew... 😊
