Quilting and Embroidering

That's about all I've been doing lately.

Well, I've been cleaning pools and going to quilt meetings and going to the chiropractor and trying new recipes too.

(I just made mom's braised round steak last night

and it was YUMMY!)

You know what they say about idle hands!

I finished up this lovely quilt yesterday for Cheryl.

This quilt has an interesting story. Cheryl was gifted with

a bag of SCRAPS from a friend who has a quilt shop in

Intercourse, PA. So Cheryl, clever girl that she is,

took this bag of scraps and turned

it into the lovely quilt pictured above and will be giving it

as a gift for a friend who recently had a baby.

She named the quilt "After Intercourse".

Ain't she sweet?

Cheryl wanted the top to be quilted with a sun

radiating out from the center and also wanted the

child's name, birthdate, weight and size quilted into

the body of the quilt.

Above you can barely see where I have quilted the child's name.

I attended a quilt meeting last night and was inspired by

Anne's sunflower quilt. This is something I'd like to

attempt some day and I've got just the quilt top to do it on!

Now just to get motivated to do it!

Here is the latest installment on my Haunted House project.

only 3 1/2 more squares to go!
