I am only going to be gone 7 days, but there are so many things people want me to take to the new baby or the new Mom--and there are a few things I wanted to take to them, too. : )
Maybe I can put my carry-on inside my checked bag on the way home (I hope).
There are a couple of hand-stitching projects tucked into those bags. Nothing new, but some that I will enjoy working on when I have sitting time.
Making Houses From Scraps was a gift project from my friend Annie M. when I was flying to visit my daughter a couple of years ago. There were 12 houses in the kit she sent and I got a few of them finished on that trip and then I worked on them at home until I got enough of them completed to make this little quilt which I call "Annie's Neighborhood."
It currently hangs in my living room and greets you as you walk in the door. I have a different layout planned for the other house blocks. I hope it will work out.
This is an old photo of the other project I packed. I have made a little progress on it, but it is packed away and I can't get a photo of it.
Maybe I will have something more to show when I get home.
I leave for the airport in less than an hour, but I wanted to let you know that Taryn (of Repro Quilt Lover blog) won my giveaway. Congrats to Taryn, and if you aren't familiar with her blog, check it out. I love her style.
I probably won't keep up with blogs much while I am away, but I'll catch you in a week.
Until then,
Janet O.
