In the Mail

The shower is a week away, so I took my final photos of the quilt I put together last month, and got it in the mail.

With my new machine, I have a few forms of the alphabet and cute stiches that can be programmed, so Abigail's name and birthday are decorating the corners. You can see the reverse side in this detail also.

While learning to use my new Singer, I made these two little projects to add to the shower gifts. Not an expert yet, but pretty happy with the results. Done, but more WIP's to go!

Quilt WIPS (Works in Progress)

I bought this kit while on vacation two years ago at Mare's Bears Quilt Shop, a great place in Lewes, Delaware.

As it was a beach vacation, I bought this as my souvenir of our trip.

What's really kind of funny is that the kit is produced closer to home at The Quilt Company, a shop I visit when I head over to visit friend Juliann, minutes away.

I am finally getting beyond the octagonals that make up the main part of the quilt.

Soon I hope to post the completed top.

Really close.

Have to tackle those mitred corners!

This little scrap quilt went together very quickly, is basted already, and waiting for me to try machine quilting on my new machine. It will be a gift for a wee little one born two weeks ago - Abigail Sage. I made a traditional styled quilt so that if it lasts through burps and dirt, it might be a lap quilt as she gets older.
