I “rescued” this old cross stitched baby quilt from a family who felt it wasn’t worth keeping. I took off the orange backing, repaired a few spots and laundered it and now I’m going to give it to the “baby” for Christmas. The “baby” is 36 years old.
Mary Baker, Connie, Joan and I are sewing in the classroom today. It’s fun to hear what everybody has been doing – too bad more couldn’t join us. Connie is making a Christmas gift, Joan is working on her camp project and Mary is cutting out Mark and Shelby’s wedding quilt from several years ago. I am piecing the red check backing for the king size log cabin quilt. Going to Pizza Ranch for lunch.

My Mom made this same blanket for our son back in 1977. He left it at a motel when we were traveling. Sweet memories…thanks for sharing.
I love your blog! And, after I hear about what you and your friends are doing, I always feel like accomplishing something in my sewing room. Thank You, Jeanie
It sounds like a fun day with the girls. I love the cross-stitch pictures on your quilt top–really fun. The king and queen are a hoot!
