I've been puttering about several projects in my stolen sewing time this week. Always so many commitments happening. Anyway, as I was clearing out a very larger corner of crafty stuff, I had 2 partially assembled flannel bits for baby tops. I figured if I put it away with the rest of the flannels, I will forget how I would approach the finish once I finally dig it out again. So, I figured I should do it right then, while its sorta fresh in my mind.
Two more baby tops brought to flimsy stage. I dont have a stash of flannels, this was a nice batch donated to me; so I've been enjoying the challenge of making things from them.

I don't have alot of wonderful things to share this week. I have been keeping very busy. I work on a mountain of microwave bowls in the early morning, then I loose a bunch of time on the computer. Then I try to machine quilt in the afternoon. Of course, we all have to work around many errands and appointments.
I did finish 3 easy placemats from the pumpkin fabric line (no photo).
Here is the project I've regrettably been microquilting which has taken forever. I've pressed on because I want it ready for the holiday displaying. I regret not quilting arcs and curves and all kinds of fun things in the petals. It would have been pretty and so much faster do finish. I began this project last October, then it sat uncompleted for several months. I finally gave it the push needed to move it along. I want it done this year!! Crimson Christmas | Krista Moser
I was also recently given a couple bags of flannel scraps and pieces and even a few large enough for backings on baby quilts. I couldnt resist cutting them up into large bricks. I've made 2 "Honey Bouquet" baby quilt tops and have a couple more in the works, tho I've taken a detour over to christmas projects.
These are 36 x 45 each. The girl quilt is okay but I'm not happy with the ones in greens for the boy, too much light colored rectangles. I may have to do some large applique on top to deter from that light.

I've been working on several things this week and have these 2 small finishes to share. Tossed Leaves & Pumpkins Runner was made from 2 placemat panels. I used coordinating fabrics to create the center checkered design. I free motion quilted it with Glide threads using a diagonal line going around the small rectangles and free motion in the pumpkin and leaves shapes. The back is a fun plaid print from this fabric line. It finished at 18 x 50.
This string quilt is a 37 inch baby quilt. The top is made by Valerie Osborne of Maine and donated thru contact with the Heartstrings Group. The backing is a lovely piece donated by a generous friend in Illinois. I quilted it with a serpentine stitch grid with gray Omni thread. It will be donated to the Hope Center for mothers-to-be. Isn't the quilting community a generous and loving bunch of humanity!
