The baby shower is over! It was a great success. Over 50 friends and family came and showered Jenn!
It was a lovely day.
Even the dad to be (my son, John) sporting his "baby beard" received something!
A Daddy's diaper changing survival kit!
Hilarious!!
If he's anything like his father; it will come in very handy!!
We got our first measurable snow. One of the maples hadn't even finished dropping it's leaves yet! They're all gone now and so is the snow. It sure was pretty.
My design wall with more progress on Metro Hoops. I only have eight more hoops to make! I haven't sewn the 4 squares together that make one block yet since I have a few blocks that don't have matching hoops. Not sure how much that would even matter but thought I would just wait until they're all pieced and decide if I can keep them the way they are or if I should mix them all up.
I just finished quilting this top. It was pieced, by hand, a long time ago by the mother or grandmother (I can't remember) of one of my co-workers. She inherited the top and promised it to her daughter when she got married. Well the daughter's been married for years now!
I did an all over of wonky feathers on it.
Love the fabrics.
It's definitely a scrap quilt as even some of the hexagon patches are pieced! A few of the background hexi's are a very thin corduroy type fabric! Cool.
I'll be excited to get it done and back to her. She gave it to me with no pressure to get it done. This is the co-worker who had a stroke during the summer. She's doing very well and I know getting this will just be another positive for her.
Almost makes me want to make one, but not quite. :)
