So I turned to that which gets me through all the moments in my life when I need to calm my thoughts - quilting. My color words quilt has been languishing for months now, basted and ready for quilting. In fact, the recipient is already a month old now! So this weekend, I cleaned my machine and put in a new needle, and quilted it. I'm a hand quilter, new to machine quilting, so simple wavy and straight stitches for me. I like how it turned out.
Then, after sewing the binding onto the front, I headed outside to sew the back down in the sunshine.
I even remembered to make a label and attach it when I attached the binding.
It will go out in Tuesday's mail - I hope the mama (and baby) likes it.
I'm linking up with Oh, Scrap and Monday Making.

That is a wonderful quilt. I love the color words. It will be fun for Mama to help baby learn her colors. Nifty idea. Yikes, a 3rd family member with Covid 19. I don't personally know anyone with it. And, I hope I don't. Here's hoping she recovers completely from it and quickly.
After seeing this on your blog, I made one for my new great-grandbaby. I love it and so did his mom.
Pretty quilt!
Such a lovely quilt--I am sure it will be loved to pieces;))))
Sorry to hear about your covid sicknesses...sending prayers for good recoveries...~ ~ ~ waving from afar julierose
Oh my word -- three people in your family have all gone to the ICU from Covid?! Prayers for healing and strength for all of you! Your baby quilt came out fantastic. I consider a month after the birth date to be right on time, early in fact. I promised to make a quilt for a baby who is now a year and a half old and expecting a baby brother this October, and although I spent a great deal of time working out a design, bought the fabric and cut everything out, that's as far as I've gotten. The new goal is to have the baby quilt done before she starts kindergarten...
Great quilt. I prefer machine quilting for baby quilts, since they get so much washing. Sorry this has hit your family so hard? Is your sister ok?
Beautiful job! Love the quilt. So sorry to hear another family member is sick. Praying.

So sorry to read about the virus attacking your family members, such a worry for you all.
On a brighter note, the little baby quilt is a real bright spot of colour, just wonderful, and will be well loved and used I'm sure.
Hugs to you and your family.
Your rainbow quilt is adorable, looks like a great scrapbuster!
That quilt is surely worth waiting for, and I doubt the baby remembers much from the first month. Some kind of flu went through my youngest son's family in March. First his wife, then daughter, then son, and finally him. There were no tests available so what kind it was is unknown. Luckily none were serious and all are better now.
Hope this is the last you have to face. It must be very stressful.
