Locked In the Sweat Shop

There are not enough waking hours in a week for me to complete all the projects I have to make for gifts. Thankfully I finished the needlepoint pillow I was making in record time, thanks to two rainy weekends. Today I had the day off and I got started on the baby quilt I need to make. I should just make baby quilts every month just to have on hand when a new baby comes along.

I love making baby quilts, which I encourage the mothers to use. Let the baby roll around in the grass on it. Allow them to drag it after themselves as they learn to walk. Let them use it to wrap their puppy up in to pretend it is their baby. My quilts are made to be loved, thrown in the washer and loved some more.

The thing that is wonderful about a baby quilt is I don’t get sick of making it because it is quick to piece. I can also quilt it myself which is fun for me. I know tomorrow might be a nice day outside, but I might be locked in the sweat shop. I got a good start today, let’s see if I can knock this out.
