Janice, I don't know if your DIL is planning to breastfeed or not. If so, washable nursing pads are something you might want to make for her. All three of my granddaughters used them and after their first child, begged for them. They are so quick and easy to make. The only expense would be buying the waterproof fabric, the flannel and batting was from scraps that I had already. They're much sturdier than the bought ones plus they can be washed and dried repeatedly. I made each girl three dozen sets and they loved them.

Janice, I mailed my package to you on Friday. I sent an email with the tracking number.

Good morning, Night Owls. Two more packages are set to arrive today and a third is one the way. Woo hoo! We're getting close to having them all here, leaving only 6 more after today's delivery. I've looked at a bunch of blocks already and I've seen some lovely and conscientious work. What a pleasure for this host.

What's everyone up to today or this week? Today is laundry, flu shot, book club and a smattering of cleaning between the other things. I'm also working on a baby quilt for the grand. If it isn't what the parents want or need, I'll happily keep it here or donate it somewhere it can be used. They didn't ask for one nor did I say I'd make one. It was just something I started on a whim on Saturday when I was bored. It's all cut out and in the process of being sewn. 72 flying geese across 9 12 inch blocks - should have thought that one through a bit more. I'll post when I'm done. Anybody else have a project in the works while you wait for your Boom blocks?

Janice sent you a pm w/ the tracking info this morning.

I am trying to finish Bow Ties are Cool I am down to borders and binding. The borders are on (simple plain black since I didn't want to detract from the pieces "timey wimey" inner border) but not quilted yet. The binding hasn't been started yet but it will be bias cut red stripe.

I’m working on making ornaments for the ornament swap and now that is done, I’ll be getting back at my “Sew in Love” bom by Edyta sitar. It’s intermediate level and has been taking me through different skills and tips and tricks. I’m on month 7 now and am getting ready to tackle y seams. I love this bom because there are monthly videos where she shows how to make each block. Great instructions for a newbie at these skills.

Since we returned to Alabama, I have quilted 25 table runners on the long arm and have two small hexi table toppers left to do. The bindings are all sewn on and 6 have the hand stitching finished to the back, the rest will be finished whenever I feel like hand stitching.

Now that it's finally cooler here in the south, we are pruning many of the bushes in the yard. This coming Sunday we plan to leave to go to Wisconsin for the holidays and will return to the south right after Christmas. So much to do in so little time!

Yes, many things! Daughter wanted a cream colored sweater for the GB as she has outgrown the first one I knitted for her... so that's in the works now. Also I have started some play clothes for the GBs... cute little tops with long sleeves and matching leggings. And some dresses for them too. And I have 8 hand embroidered (out of 50) state bird and flower blocks done for a quilt. Those are so much fun, I could work on them all day long. And lets not forget the red knitted pony for one of the GB's Christmas presents... Too many things. But, all fun!
