Low Key Day

 

Monday was a yucky weather day and everyone was

in a sorta low-key kind of mood.

Derby ... wake me up when spring arrives.

Sunday I did a quick trip into Baltimore to give my 

sister her birthday presents.  This quilt was one of them.

I made it with her new guest bedroom in mind.

The back of the quilt fabric is called Winter Shimmer.  

It's from a flat fold purchased in Lancaster.  

It's hard to see in the quilt [front] photo but the cream

fabric is also Winter Shimmer - it is a tone on tone fabric.

The 2nd rocket ship quilt top is done.  I used a

darker blue on the block top and bottom.  This quilt

will be finished and mailed to Jennifer in South Carolina.

I happened to spot her FB post about a new group

forming that specifically helps new young mother's

 in need.  This includes emotional support as well

as items needed to raise a baby.  As of now there are 2 girls.

One is having a boy at the end of May so this will go to 

her with flannel burp cloths.  Of course they have links to

items you can purchase for the moms via Amazon.  

Back fabric for the rocket ship quilt.

While I purchased the rocket ship fabric and the red fabric

above it is from Henry Glass.   This is one of the 

companies that Jennifer represents and one that I

was Brand Ambassador for.  While I don't know

how many mom's I will help I thought it was a

nice thing to do now to get the group off

the ground.  The organizers plan to take this

concept international.
