I've addressed and about 110 Hurricane Sandy Relief Quilt Thank You postcards - halfway there!
Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.

Stitches and stamps
My co-worker's baby came 2 months early. Ella Clare is a cutie with LOTS of hair. Her APGAR scores were great, so the prognosis is good, but she'll be in NICU for a while yet. I've been wearing my fingers out trying to get her quilt ready to welcome her when she gets home, and I think I'm going to make it. I bet I have only one or two evenings left of quilting, and I hope to bind it this weekend. This was such a fun quilt to make - I feel certain I'll be making more with different color schemes. I love making baby quilts - they come together so quickly!

Yes, your handquilting is beautiful! A lovely quilt for a wee one.

The baby quilt is so sweet! Looks like celebration flags! Happy new life!
I love how you've quilted it. So glad baby is here and doing well.
What a pretty quilt! I'm a much slower quilter (of course, I only quilt during the commercials).
That quilt will be worth coming home to. No wonder the baby was in a rush!
Thanks for sending me a postcard! We block makers should be sending you thank you cards! You're a wonderful organizer! I love your baby quilt and am inspired to sew one like it.
Will be praying for the precious little one. What a beautiful quilt to welcome her home in!!
LOVE Ella's quilt. You did a fabulous job Erin. Those colours are so cheerful. Perfect for a little one.
I love how quickly baby quilts come together too.
Great quilt for Ella Clare, such great splashes of colour and movement, fabulous.
Love this!!!!!!! Reminds of a Katie Peterson pattern. She is local. I live making baby quilts too and hope someday we r hand quilting together while chatting.
Love your quilting on the baby quilt! How do you get your lines so straight? I will be embarrassed to show my hand-quilting up close now!
