Deep Freeze Doings

 

The "Antique Rug" quilt top is finished and in the donation pile! I like it but I'd rather see it given to someone who needs it more than I do.

 


I had this fabric, a mix of Anna Marie Hoerner and Kathy Doughty, and am making another simple donation quilt top. This fabric is way out of my comfort zone but maybe its in someone else's?

 


I've started doing some simple straight line walking foot machine quilting on a UFO from a quilt workshop. Its what I call mindless stitching.

 


My granddaughter, Ruthie, was born this week! Baby quilt finished for her. I've spent the day baking some breakfast goodies for her family till mom gets back on her feet. I'm looking forward to meeting Ruthie very much! 

Meanwhile, our weather is warming up! It has been a long time since we've had temperatures this cold for this long. In Kansas, we're used to some snow and a cold snap but the sun is usually out soon afterwards to warm us up and melt the snow away. That didn't happen this time but we survived it. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone dealing with the extreme cold and its after effects.

Until next time, Mayleen

Antique Rug is an interesting pattern and will be so appreciated by the lucky person who receives it. Ruthie is a charmer, and I'm so glad you are going to see her soon. How wonderful to have a new baby to love this year! I can't wait to see a photo of you with her!

Grandbabies are the very best! Congrats to your family.:) Your antique rug quilt is such a pleasant looking quilt. The brighter colors set it off so well!
