Memory box for Ethan that was made by Sara and Chris and of course, Ethan inside the box.

A few weeks old here.

 Happy New Year.  Here is a photo of our new grandson and the quilt I made him.  I was testing a pattern for Eleri Taylor. Jenn made the owl and fox cut outs for me and then I did them in fabric.

 Christmas celebration was after Christmas. Had a nice time.

 I haven't written for a long time. Photo above are 4 of the 12 placemats that I made for my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas 2021.

We now have a grandson.  Ethan was born on Sept. 22, 2021.  Such a cute little guy. We love being grandparents.

Jennifer's quilt from Grandma

 This is the quilt that my Mom made using her old housecoats. None of them were very worn out. I believe that she used a new bed sheet for the backing. She did it all by hand. No machine sewing. She used alot of circles for the hand quilting and some stars.  I added a few lazy daisies to some blocks.  My daughter looks it.

 Step 5 for my guilds mystery quilt along.  This was finished awhile ago.  We just got step 6 and I am working on it at present. 

Happy quilting.

These 2 photos are the back and front of a crumb block quilt that I made. The little blocks were 3 1/2 inches and then I put them together as a quilt as you go method. The panels in between I first quilted and then joined each row together the same way.  Ended up being a busy quilt but then will be for a baby.

I do enjoy making the crumb block all different sizes. Think next time the between rows will be not so busy. Likely a  solid or tone on tone instead.

Here we are now still having Covid issues.  I am usually able to get a couple of hours in each day for my sewing.  Hope everyone out there is doing well.

Happy quilting.
