Well, Super Bowl LII begins soon, just time enough for a quick post. I spent a good part of Friday sewing this mixer block from Lori Holt's Let's Bake 2 quilt. Isn't it cute? The cord is narrow, red rick rack which is sewn down diagonally with six strands of white floss. The plug and beaters are hand embroidered.
This afternoon between watching the pre-game shows, I have been working on this sweet little charity quilt. Here's a peek at the top which still needs borders. I saw a similar quilt posted somewhere and fell in love with the fabric which I later found online.
I'll donate it to a group which makes quilts for the children of solders in the National Guard in our area who are being deployed. Speaking of that, Anne and Jackie, members of both the Crosstown and Herring Run Guilds, spearhead this project, and recently received a very, very special award. Here's Anne with her The President's Volunteer Service Award and a letter from President Obama. They received these awards at a recent deployment ceremony.
What a tremendous honor for these two dedicated, hard working ladies.
One last quick thing . . . I mentioned that I found the adorable sheep fabric online. Look at the stamps that came on the envelope. In case you can't make them out: comic book figures: Lil Abner, Terry and the Pirates, Prince Valiant, and Brenda Star; Father Flanagan of Boys Town fame, Harriet Tubman, and some other some historical scenes. What an interesting. eclectic, colorful assortment!
It was a good game. . .just not the outcome that I had hoped! Love your mixer block. The cord is terrific!
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed a good game. We’re so used to Tom pulling things out at the end, but unfortunately not tonight. Oh, well . . .
DeleteJanice what was the site you ordered that sweet fabric from?
