Spring Recap - Quilts and Other Things!

Hello my friends! I really can’t believe it has been nearly 8 months since I posted!! Oh my oh my! This year has flown by! My grandmother always told me “The older you get the faster times goes!” And now that I am a grandmother I totally understand!!

On the quilty front, the first few months of the year I assisted a dear friend in making quilts for the Godly Impressions preschool graduating class. There were 14 students this year, and she was in need of some “boy” quilts. So between her stash and mine, I put together four for her. There were a couple of hitches that caused me some delays: 1) my friend donated the batting for the quilts and it was low loft poly - struggled with it as it doesn’t spray baste best very well!! And I do all my FMQ on my DSM! But I perservered and finished! ( But I won’t ever use that type of batting again!!) 😳😳😳 And 2) Some time in March I injured my shoulder, not enough to go to the doctor, but enough that I had to rest it from several activities! i.e. quilting, even hand work irritated the injury, saddling my horse, lifting items above my head etc. Such a bother!! I’m glad to say I’m almost 100% now! 

Here are the boy quilts I made! They measure approximately 55” x 65”. 








Hope this finds each of you immersed in the things that fulfill you! I know I am sooooo grateful for my blessed life!!

Blessings and hugs!
