1 PLUS 1...........

.....equals two scrappy quilts for two darling little girls !  I had these beauties over for dinner and was able to give them their new quilts.

For the most part, these quilts were made from scraps that were laying around the floor, sewing table, and wherever else I can stuff them.  It felt great to be using up and not buying.  The backings were yardage I had in my backing cupboard.  Linda did lovely free motion on one, while I did straight lines on the other. If you would like to know cutting measurement etc. the original post is here 

I think their smiles say it all  : )
I am one happy Grandma

Happy stitching and thanks for stopping by

ALL THE BLOCKS (and a birthday girl)

Oh my goodness! April nearly did me in trying to get all of my bee blocks made. Some were quite time consuming but finally, they are done!

Stephanie from the Mid Century Modern bee asked for this 'Gorgeous Gertie" block. It can be found in issue 17 of Love Patchwork and Quilting.

It's foundation paper pieced. This is one of the sections before and after trimming.

9 sections complete and all sewn together.  I really love it.

 I know that Karen has been wanting to learn this technique. If you are trying to avoid punching people, this may not be the block for you.    haha   : )

Note: no family members were harmed during the making of this block.........

Jaime asked for the Supernova block

and Rebecca asked for Snails Trail blocks. In all my years of quilting, I've never made this block until now

Nicke asked for these improv log cabin blocks. I had so much fun diving into my scrap bin that I made her four

then Francine asked for a star block

and Jaclyn wanted this 16" bento box that she will slice in 4 and re-arrange with all the others

It has been a very productive couple of days and my scrap bins have a little breathing room.



and lastly, my little grand daughter turned 3!  We got her a bicycle and she was thrilled  : )

That little smile just melts me.

Enjoy your week
