Relaxing Sewing...

The past couple of days have been quiet and peaceful.

In fact, I haven't left the house since coming home from

church on Sunday night.

It's wonderful!

In these quiet and peaceful hours,

I've had a chance to sew and play in my Hidey Hole.

One of the things I worked on was getting the pieces cut

for Clues 4 and 5 of
"On Ringo Lake."

They are waiting to be sewn into the units.

Unit 4 was started last night and is half way finished.

For quite some time, I've had two baby quilt tops done

and waiting to be quilted.

On Christmas Day afternoon I pin basted each one

and began quilting the first one.

I had wanted to use a free motion design for these,

but I put a minky on the back and there was way too

much drag to free motion quilt.

Out came the walking foot and the quilting was finished.

 

One I quilted a foot length away from the seam,

the other is just next to the seam.

This pattern is from the Fat Quarter Shop

and is called Baby Gingham Quilt.

It went together in no time at all.

I just love the minky I found for the backing.

It is so soft and so fun with all of the animals!

 

These will go in my stack of baby quilts waiting for babies!

 

All bound and ready to give.

Now, back to sewing mystery quilt units!

Happy Quilting!
