My weekends sewing time and a finish.

I started this on Friday night...

I've been super excited to get into some sewing.

I am making this for a new born little girl.

My design wall has worked well.

All the blocks were sashed and borders on..

THE TOP IS DONE.

Now for Saturday

It is 37 degrees here today and I'm outside basting this baby quilt.

It needs to be done . As I am using spray basting glue it's best used outside 

And then on Sunday

All quilted and bound and I'm very happy

Look at this sweet backing fabric.

Just perfect

And it's finished

I have finally done some sewing......

I am making a baby quilt for a newborn little girl.

BUT the good news is...

I got home from work on Friday and my hubby had made an easy fix design wall.

Bolts put into the studs, wire (like clothesline) to connect them and a tension joiner to tighten the sag if needed.. Peg a polar fleece blanket and I am ready to go...

I had 2 friends come over for the day to sew and look what I got done.

It was great to sit n sew for a few hours.

Thanks Liz & Elwyn.

I started with a jelly roll which ended up being only a half one. I added a few more strips from another one to make up enough strips. 

Sewed 4 strips together and cross cut them into 8.5" squares.

Decided on the sashings. 

All the sashings and borders are cut ready to finish.

I had this cute backing which I think goes really well.

Look at some of the brights to give a bit of zing.

These are some of the blocks. They measure 8.5"

I have cut the outer border ready, the same fabric as the sashings and have chosen a bright pink for the binding.

BLANKETS OF LOVE

I really like what Cheryll from Blankets of Love does

Fantastic quilters donate these beautiful little quilts to local hospitals.

Here are the ones I have done.

Cheryll, they are on their way.

I made 8 out of 2 mini Jelly rolls.

I did the rocking horse for the boys

The girls I made these cute fairies.. 

How sweet are these hands. Yes one for the boys and another for the girls.

They feet are so cute and I made one in the blue and one in pink.

A CATCH UP POST

I have been out and about. Sewing and lunching. So this is a post to catch up on what I have been doing and all the link ups I should have done.

Firstly.... On Wednesday Angela had a link up of the half year mark for for RSC 14 sampler blocks. So here are mine. Take a look at what others are doing HERE at Soscrappy

Then we had FNWF over at Gone Stitchin' with CHERYLL

Well I was very busy finishing off a few things.
I had made a couple of drainage bags for CANCER patients.
The FREE pattern was from CHERYLL here

A jelly roll race cot quilt. With heart/leaves quilting and the label is on too.

Then I finished some square bags that I made from a prize of a charm square pack, HOOPLA, from VAL'S QUILTING STUDIO.

Saturday saw me starting my red scraps over at Angela's at Soscrappy making her sampler blocks.

I also did my BUBBLE TREE blocks

And I went ahead and made my paper pieced block for Kerry for this months swap over at 

PAPER PIECERS SWAP CLUB. I decided on making WILD ZINNIAS block from Quilters Cache, Quilt blocks galore. This is a great site with many blocks and in all different sizes.
