This is what I've been working on.
A quilt to be auctioned off!
The proceeds will go to help a young lady
heading to Canada to minister there.
The design is simple....
but I like it!
I used lots of WHITE strips.....
different widths and lengths...
along with...
lots of REDS from my stash.
;)
Hoping to get it sandwiched soon.
I imagine some machine quilted lines
and THEN......
some NICE BIG RED hand quilted stitches!
Oh, you know me!
I'm always imagining BIG hand quilted stitches.
I just don't always ADD THEM in the end!!!
LOL!
I'm also making cookies.
Son's away at college.
It HAS to be done once in a WHILE!!
Nothing says I LOVE YOU
like a BIG box of homemade cookies!
;)

DeleteThat quilt is lovely, Beth. Yum.....cookies from home....there is nothing like it.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt that really shouts Canada. Beautiful! Thank you for my surprise.
ReplyDeleteGreat top Beth. So creative for the occasion!!
ReplyDeleteLOL….I guess I'm going to have to break down and make some cookies also. I have been soooo
craving some homemade cookies for a while now and sitting here looking at yours and think I can
almost smell them!!!
I just sandwiched a similarly-pieced quilt, Beth, and am wondering how to quilt it. It's a charity quilt for our guild to give away. Yours looks lovely! Also, I thought of you this morning while driving to work through a neighboring town - I saw a sign with the name "Shibley" of someone running for office, and you popped into my head! Happy to visit your blog!
ReplyDeleteOh, and those cookies look like Snickerdoodles? Yum! Nice mom!
