Not much anyway! I've been busy making baby quilts, flannel blankets, and baby hats for daughter Andrea's baby, due in September. I have three flannel blankets to go, and a tooth fairy pillow for Lily.
As far as tatting goes, I have about 2 repeats left of Cornelia, but I'm running out of Citrus LIMON. Luckily, Sherry's going to dye some more for me!
I received Fortune from Marilee... oh, what lovely colors blended together! They don't look very nice in this scan (I think my scanner is on its last leg), but if you go to Marilee's Etsy shop, you'll see how beautiful this thread is! As soon as my order arrived, I wound the skeins on to floss bobbins. I'll work on the crosses while I'm at Mom's. I think I'll probably work on some bookmarks while I'm there too, since they're so easy to finish and so very pretty!
I'm getting very excited about my trip to Alabama! I leave in a week and a half, and I'll be at Mom's for two weeks. Thank goodness for air conditioning... I'd never be able to stand the heat and humidity!
Those blankets and hats are soooo cute! Love the little motif too!
ReplyDeleteLucky you, having someone to make pink baby hats for!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite of the quilts is the one with the bright squares.
Thank you for leaving a comment. Congratulations on the upcoming birth of grandchild. How nice making goodies for the new baby. Cute quilts and baby hats.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so sweet. You are going to have a ball with that baby girl. And she is very blessed to have you for a grandma. Cornelia is going to be lovely.
ReplyDeleteDaine, wow you have been busy. The little pink hats are very cute. Enjoy you time with your Mom. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of what you two ladies create while your there.
ReplyDeleteCornelia looks great! I'd have never been daring enough to mix two HDTs like that. Have fun with the baby stuff. September will be here before you know it. Can't wait to see some baby pics.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're going to Alabama? That sounds like fun...I dunno...really, as I've never been to Alabama. A vacation anywhere with people I love sound awesome right now. Your gifts are all lovely and the recipients will all be appreciative, I'm sure. The doily looks like it's coming along nicely and the new thread is divine looking.
ReplyDeleteThe Cornelia is coming out great. I think I want to try it out as well.. there is a lot of temptation here with Marty and you tatting this. I love the colors you've used, it makes it so much nicer.
ReplyDeleteLove the qulits... :-)the baby hats are so cute and tiny!.
