Another Baby Quilt made this month

A friend gave me some darling brown paisley fabric that she had left over from her sewing projects.  I discovered I had a pretty light blue fabric that matched it beautifully.  So a cute baby quilt was created for "Bags of Love" and donated this month at our guild meeting.

Baby Quilt Sent out this month

Happily designed a baby quilt on Electric Quilt 7 program.  Found an article in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine on how to make pieced letters and numbers.  The article can be found in QNM October 1999 and is called Patchwork Alphabet by Sherri Bain Driver.  I discovered it was very easy to piece the letters for Reid's new baby quilt.  I purchased the fabric on-line from Fabric.com

Here is the back of Reid's quilt.  The name of the quilt is "Just a Few Giraffes".  This fabric was found up at Hancock's of Paducah, when I travelled up to the AQS Show in April of this year.

View of Campus

A view of the park-like setting where I used to work.  Actually, this was the view from my car, where I enjoyed sitting and having my lunch each day.  Each season gave a new perspective of your surroundings.
I loved to watch the squirrels and the birds. 

UFO #11 Challenge for September

Judy from Patchwork Times has chosen the project for September's UFO Quilt Challenge.  My project #11 is a Signature Quilt with each co-worker's signature, along with the date they began working at the university. The blocks are 5 inches square.  My plan is to create a unique design to include the 80 signature blocks, along with some pictures of the campus.  The campus always reminded me of a state park with the beautiful trees and massive lawns.  In 2011, the campus turned 100 years old.  It began as a two-year Normal School for training teachers.
