Washing and Drying


As I type (and breathe through one nostril) my baby quilt is washing. I'm looking forward to it getting soft and crinkly and baby ready! The kids held it up before I threw it in the wash. My son held up some sort of figure behind it, which I just noticed. He makes me laugh with his tricks and pranks. Really fun to see how his personality is growing and blossoming. Not sure if you can see the shade of the backing. It's the large dot from the Nicey Jane line. Very baby. Just sayin'....


I did a straight line quilting every 4 inches in one direction, and rows of 3 spaced out in the other direction. Very straight forward. Very easy. Had to, since my free motion foot is buried somewhere in the basement among the bags and boxes. I swore I put it aside, and mumbled under my breath about how disorganized I am, and how I can't wait to get everything back where it belongs. It can't be too soon?!? The carpeting will be installed hopefully within the next week or so. The order is taking longer than I had hoped... I must learn to have patience.

  6. So glad you were feeling well enough to finish the quilt AND a sweet owl, love that! Perhaps your little guy needs an action figure quilt?

    Hope the carpet is installed soon so you can settle in again. :-D

  7. Quilt looks great and I love the owl. I've been admiring that fabric and want to select a project to do with it. It reminds me of vintage bed sheets. I love it!!
