I haven't posted pics of my niece Taylor's baby quilt because my sis reads my blog and I wanted it to be a surprise!
She sent cute pics after the quilt was received so now the cat is out of the bag, I can post about it :c)
There are a lot of fun fabrics in this quilt so it turned out to be an "I SPY" kind of thing for Taylor as well as a way for me to use some blocks that had been gifted to me along with some blocks I had made on my own. I set the blocks so the red strips make a diamond pattern in the center. It's bright and fun! And doesn't Taylor look so cute on it! I can't believe she is a month old already. I love her hair.... :cD
Yesterday I went to a Quilting Bee at my friend Mary's house! Her attic sewing room is perfect for several of us to gather and work on our projects and chatter away the day. Shirley is to the left with her back towards the camera. Mary is straight on in the peach shirt. The quilter to the right who's hands you see is our Mystery Quilter. Her name has been changed to protect her identity so no one will know she was playing hookie and quilting with us yesterday! *LOL* We will call her "Sunbonnet Sue". :cD
Four machines were humming, lots of laughter and chatter, and Shirley provided us ALL a terrific salad lunch. Mary made the most delicious to-die-for pecan cheesecake pie! I am not kidding..I could barely waddle myself back upstairs to sew more.
(Which reminds me...if I get ANY MORE SPAM telling me not to be "embarrased about my size" or that "bigger is better" I'm going to take it as perfectly good permission to go have another piece of that pecan cheesecake pie! HA!)
I spent the day working on the next installment for Orange Crush! I hope to get the instructions up by Monday. That's my goal anyway. I can tell you this much... The middle is TOGETHER. And Mary's DH Jeff said "OH! I like the ORANGE!" So those of you wondering when the orange comes in to play....get ready ;cÞ
Beautiful niece and quilt! I am so excited you might post the next step on Monday...the moving van leaves here on Thursday so I might get that step in and put it all on the truck yet! I can dream, right. Smile!
ReplyDeleteThe baby is beautiful, as is the quilt.
ReplyDeleteCould you share the recipe for pecan cheesecake pie???? Please????? It sounds absolutely delicious.
Taylor's quilt looks perfect for her. With her dark hair and beautiful coloring, the brighter colors seem just the thing. Sounds like your quilting bee was a lot of fun, and I need my lunch, so that dessert is really sounding yummy.
ReplyDeleteYour neice is a doll. Love her quilt.
ReplyDeleteMary's sewing space is wonderful. I would love to join you if only for the pie!
What a beautiful baby! Oh, the quiltok too, but it pales in comparison to that gorgeous doll on it..*LOL*
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside I love the quilt, I especialy like the diamond pattern it makes. Bonus for Taylor by also being an I SPY quilt.
Now seriously Bonnie, do you think it's fair to tease us all with that pie? My mouth is watering as many others I'm sure. Will you ask Mary if she will please let you post us the recipe?
I'm so happy to hear that the next step to the mystery quilt will be posted Monday. I can't wait to see the 'orange'.
Have a great weekend Bonnie.
