Sent with Love to Isabella

Started this quilt last Sunday after church and gave it to the new mother on Wednesday evening. I used Moda's Sent With Love charm pack. I love the pop of green.

I don't know what I would do with out the ping pong table for my layouts;


Flannel backing. LOVED this white with red polka dot and the back w/binding looks like a Christmas quilt. Ready to go to the washer and dryer!



All crinkly;

The best picture I could get on Wednesday afternoon;


All ready to wrap;


I used Oh,Fransson!'s tutorial again. It is featured on Sew,Mama,Sew!'s site and is the Charm Squares Baby Quilt. I made the sashings and the borders a teensy bit bigger. The new mother loved it and all the ladies at the shower wanted to see it up close.


Praise - College girl got the program position that she wanted most! She is settling in nicely.

Prayers - VBS coming up next week and I am one of the teachers. That I would get my act together and be ready. For all the kids that might come to VBS.

Ready,Set, SEW!

The sun is shining for a few minutes so I ran up and took a picture of my fabrics for tonight's project.


I'm going to be making the Charms Squares Baby Quilt by Elizabeth of Oh Fransson! that was featured on Sew,Mama, Sew!. I've seen a few different quilts on Flickr that used this tutorial and they are really cute. This particular charm pack does not have enough charms so I have the extra prints there to work with.

I hope everyone else is either sewing already or about to get started.

Have fun!!

Playing with the layout of the charm squares on my dining room table (which is very long and very skinny);


started to sew;

rows of blocks;


I probably could get these all sewn together this evening BUT tomorrow is going to be a busy day so I wanted to leave some no brainer sewing for me to do then. This is a 3x12 layout. Four wide was going to be too wide for my table. I was thinking about doing a disappearing nine patch but have decided against that.

Praise - The final dress rehearsal went well this morning. We've had snow, snow, snow all day and I LOVE IT!

Prayers - Again for the Easter production at church tomorrow, that the GOOD NEWS would be conveyed to those that need to hear it.
