Givio, the quilt is cute with all the boyish fabrics.... but the baby is cuter! What a beautiful boy he is. I didn't realize he was your first grandson after 5 granddaughters. Boy will he be rotten! He's so photogenic.

Ok, what a lovely scrap quilt again! yes, your quilt ought to raise major for the cause. Love your Log Cabin mim, too. Still have mine in the sewing room for inspiration.

Givio, what a handsome baby! And the quilt is just darling, too.

I have been busy with company; my side of the family, then dh side of the marriage. And working on Mary's Log Cabin. Ready to set the blocks together. But not tomorrow. Doing a marathon run with two other quilters on the All Iowa Shop Hop trip (Yes, Quilter 65 is driving) and we hope to hit ten stores.. . from 9:30 to 5 pm...leaving home here at 6:30, headed toward some we have not seen, Nevada, and Newton, Des Monies, Ames and sew on....last is two in Chariton or maybe Pella and Ottumwa. We made seven shops last time, have hit eight in one day...so we are going for a new record. Take care everyone.

QNS, better leave the engine running tomorrow! You are going to need every minute to shop at ten stores. That's a new level of "shop til you drop"... LOL.

I can't even imagine having ten shops within one day's driving distance.

And... my DIL is from Ames.

Hi girls! All of you have some beautiful and fun fabrics, and lots of great sewing planned.

That is one sweet baby!

QNS it sounds like you had some real fun going to all those shops.

I am still dong a bit of hand sewing before quilting it on my machine.It's the quilt my brother in law wanted me to see if I could fix it. It was made for him many many years ago by his grandma who helped raise him with his dad. I had to take apart the top squares apart from all the rest of it. The batting inside was not good nor the backing. I will be adding new batting, and a new back that will look like the one his grandma had on it. I am doing my best, but I think he will like it when I am finished. I hope so.

Hugs Everyone.
I like to keep up with what all you are doing.
