After a horrific two weeks of battling a new computer things are looking much better. I am convinced that my Apple devices talk to each other. No sooner than I got the computer all up and running the iPhone decided to stop working. Off to the Verizon store to discover the battery was dead and of course a replacement for it is no longer available. So a new phone was purchased. Pricey little things, but Verizon knows its stuff and all info was transferred and it works great.
I finished the first Gone Fishing quilt top this past week. Now working on the second with a gold colored lattice. I have a dead line for these to be quilted and bound by April 14th. They are both huge, like 74 by 95. Both grandsons are tall, the 16 year old is already 6'4" and the 14 year old is headed that way. They share a bedroom so I wanted them to match but also at least be a bit different thus one with blue and the other with a gold lattice and borders.
Wow that is amazing that you have made so many quilts this year already! Great fishing themed quilt!
ReplyDeleteYeah is very difficult to make quilts for boys. For some reason normally they don't like all the colors and also some prints. We feel this problem here with the boys quilts made by Love Quilts in Brazil. Your quilts look pretty good. Congrats for almost beat your annual goal of 12 quilts for donation.
ReplyDeleteThe first quilt for the boys is lovely, great fishing theme! Wow you already made 11 charity quilts these 2 months! These two will be cherish for sure, they are lovely.

You've done so well at sticking with your goals this year. The first fishing quilt is really fun. Fingers crossed the second one goes together as smoothly.

ReplyDeleteI love your quilts. The fish one made me smile. You're so talented.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Hurray! Can't believe you are making quilts so fast. Isn't it irritating that the battery was no longer available for your phone version? This means you haven't any choice but to purchase a new one. Seems unfair!!
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern you are using for your grandson's quilt. Can you tell me the name of it. So awesome to donate quilts, I am working on a few too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great goal and you are so close to finishing it up and it's only March! Love that Gone Fishing top. Really lets the fabrics shine. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell linkup, Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteI think the reason there are so many girlie quilts donated is that we mostly have that sort of fabrics in our stash. I like to make donation quilts too, and try to make one for a girl and one for a boy at the same time. Gone Fishing looks great!
ReplyDeleteSo impressive the number of quilts you have gotten done. I like that you are making your quilts for your grandson extra-long. I have a tall husband and do the same.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you have made 11 charity quilts in just 2 months. You are so right, there is always a dirty of male quilts donated to charity. Good for you for fulfilling this need.
