Snowy Days & Quilting

When you look out the window

and the snow is coming down

and the wind is blowing,

it's a great time to stay inside and

"Quilt".

I made this baby quilt

for our niece who's baby is 

due around Christmas :)

 

Back in June Melba of
"Henny Penny Lane"

had these photos in her post.

The fabric was a gift from a blogging friend.

I simply left this comment: 

 Oh my goodness, what a generous lady. Those fabrics are so pretty and will be perfect in your aprons and bonnets. The piece with the vintage children at play is my favorite and then the one with the hens. This will give you plenty to do in the rainy season and later when winter comes along. I was out in the barn for a few minutes yesterday and opened a drawer and there was the fabric seed packets you sent me . . . I truly want to put them into a quilt one day, but as for now I don't want anything but the necessities of caring for the farm to take my time away from being with Steve. I should get out there when he is napping one day and work on something, to bring into the house for lap work. He does love looking over and seeing me stitching away on a project.
Have a sweet day . . . rain, rain go away so sweet little Melba can go out and play :)

A few weeks later a package arrived with

the vintage children fabric enclosed.

  

I used some of it in the baby quilt 

that I made for our niece . . .

and I'm working on another quilt

right now, using it again. 

If you have never visited Melba's blog . . .

she makes beautiful vintage sun bonnets

and aprons and sells them at local

art fairs.

Thank you Melba :)

I hope you like how I'm using your

sweet gift of fabric.
