I have been occupied doing baby quilts. The two shown here are not pieced or appliqued.
They're printed fabric panels we bought on our January field trip to Hamilton. The blue one with the friendly jungle animals is now in Israel, en route to Noam, our new grandnephew. The second one, the neon coloured jungle animals, is en route by airmail to Germany, where it will become a gift from my daughter & her SO to her SO's ex's new baby girl. (The photo shows it unbound, the binding is actually a lovely fuschia colour).
I have another printed panel sandwiched and ready for quilting for my next door neighbour's baby due in June, I think. PTF when finished.
I have also finally finished my PTF multi-coloured baby quilt for my first grandchild...
And I have finished my first PTF Project Linus baby quilt -- black, white and red.
Yesterday we popped into Fabricland to pick up two rolls of burlap for camp mifkad esh. While there, I bought some yellow fabric for an inside border for another Project Linus baby quilt I hope to finish this week. And some patterned fabric for the backing of another wholecloth baby quilt. And after that, I will go back to piecing my Project Linus baby quilts.
We're invited to Yunkie and Mindy's for Friday night and I want to make a table runner from fabrics samples I have. I sort of know what I want to do but haven't quite decided on the "how" yet. Also something I'm hoping to finish this week, if not today.
I ordered a book online called "Art Quilt Workbook" and I am probably joining an online group to work our way through the workbook. It looks delicious and I am looking forward to it.
So I'm busy stitch-wise.
Since I prewash my fabrics, I am off to the basement to see the machines' progress.

This is my first machine pieced machine quilted (not in a grid) quilt. I will be entering it into the YHQG show. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, so much so that I have decided to keep it for my first grandchild.
This is a "cheater panel" baby quilt which I quilted in a simple diagonal grid. The next photo is with the corner lifted to show the back. This one's for my neighbour's new baby due any day now.
The black, red and white was pieced following a free pattern on the internet for charity quilts. It is also quilted in straight diagonal lines. The next photo has the corner lifted to show the back. This one is going to Project Linus after I show it at the Pomegranate Guild's show and share.
