			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Self-binding Baby Blankets are my current &#8216;go-to&#8217; for baby showers.</p>
<p>Here are just a few, made from two coordinating flannels.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Sefl-bindingBabyBlanket.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2297" title="Sefl-bindingBabyBlanket" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Sefl-bindingBabyBlanket-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shoppe just got in a shipment of Riley Blake Flannels. The top/right blanket are Riley Blake. The other 2 blankets are older prints, I don&#8217;t know the manufacturer.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is Featherweight Club at the quilt shop. Here are last month&#8217;s blocks.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FeatherweightClub3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2298" title="FeatherweightClub#3" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FeatherweightClub3-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The club meeting sneaks up on me ever month! I just made the blocks yesterday. So much for avoiding last minute to sewing!</p>
<p>Not photoed is the table runner I free motion quilted but still have the binding to tack down. And also the Dance of the Dragonflies is almost complete! I cut out the border pieces today. Pictures promised next time!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m linking to <a href="http://www.conniekresin.com/2015/05/linky-tuesday_12.html">Linky Tuesday</a> and T<a href="http://www.stitchallthethings.com/to-do-tuesday-5-12-15-summer-prep/">o-Do Tuesday</a>.</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s list will be binding the table runner and finish piecing Dance of the Dragonflies. I know, I listed them last week, but successfully worked on both, even tho not complete! I had forgotten about the Featherweight Club and then had a few baby blankets that needed to be made. That is life, right!?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh my, sometimes I just have to laugh at myself! Like when looking over my list for last week&#8217;s sewing. I forgot when coming up with the list that Easter was last weekend! Can I say &#8220;a little sewing might have gotten accomplished&#8221;??  :-)</p>
<p>Here is a picture of my darling 3 month old granddaughter, Lillah. Her momma, Kim, took the photo Easter morning.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Lillah3months.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2254" title="Lillah3months" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Lillah3months-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>And here is Lillah with her Grandpa, my hubby John, after Easter dinner at our house.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/JohnLilliah.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2253" title="John&amp;Lilliah" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/JohnLilliah-240x300.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>That was the only picture that I know of taken at our home Easter Sunday. Too bad as the whole family was over, we missed a good photo op time. We had a wonderful time together and a lovely afternoon walk in the warm NE Indiana weather.  All Lillah&#8217;s aunts had fun holding and cuddling with her. Grandma didn&#8217;t get much time with her tho. That&#8217;s OK as it was so nice having all our adult children home for our celebration, plus getting to see them interact with Lillah.</p>
<p>Sewing! I got the binding  and buttons sewn on Stitcher&#8217;s Garden. She&#8217;s all done now!</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/StitchersGardenQuilt.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2256" title="StitchersGardenQuilt" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/StitchersGardenQuilt-267x300.jpg" alt="" width="267" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>And I pieced  3 blocks for the Featherweight Club, meeting Wednesday, April 8th, at Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shoppe, Roanoke, IN. I think they are so cute! The blocks and the machine! ha ha! The 12&#8243; block &#8211; Windblown was a new one for me.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/FeatherweightClubMonth2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2257" title="FeatherweightClubMonth2" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/FeatherweightClubMonth2-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>And here is the first block for the Curves without Piecing pattern: Dance of the Dragonflies. Actually two blocks. The first block shows what the piecing looks like before you go back and stitch the curves. The block on the right shows the finished block. Interesting process, a bit tedious. These are small 6&#8243; blocks with out the sashing. But I do like the results, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get quicker with the piecing now that I&#8217;m familiar with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/CurveswoPiecingDragonFly.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2258" title="Curvesw:oPiecingDragonFly" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/CurveswoPiecingDragonFly-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This week I have a sewing date with friends and I plan on taking the Jolene Star and Sweet Mint patterns to work on. So those two are on my To-Do list for this week. I&#8217;ll save the baby quilt I never seem to get to until next week. At least the kitchen table where I spray baste baby quilts is all cleaned off, so I&#8217;ll have a better chance at getting to it soon! Fingers crossed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend and I started a Featherweight Club at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fabrics-and-Friends-Quilt-Shoppe/211945015493582">Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shoppe</a>, Roanoke, IN where we both work part time. Check out the Facebook page to see Vicki&#8217;s lovely blocks.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/FeatherweightClub.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2213" title="FeatherweightClub" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/FeatherweightClub-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Above are my first month blocks, using Timeless Tradition BOM by <a href="http://www.bitsnpieces.net/bits-n-pieces-patterns/block-of-the-month#.VRGIO0KDSDU">Bits &#8216;n Pieces</a>. The Featherweight machine was purchased from blog friend, <a href="http://vickiwelsh.typepad.com/field_trips_in_fiber/">Vicki Welsh</a> when she listed it on Ebay last year. I switched out that hot-burn-your-fingers light bulb to an LED bulb I found at <a href="http://www.stitchallthethings.com/featherweight-led/">Stitch All the Things</a>. We put in a group order and Brad offers free shipping. If you happen to be searching for a better light bulb for your Featherweight, go to Brad.</p>
<p>I took advantage of <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/kits/quilting">Craftsy</a>&#8216;s recent sale for my Birthday!</p>
<p>I ordered the Free Spirit Box of 14 one yard cuts, Cotton + Steel Good Fortune Quilt Kit, some die cut hexes and layer cakes. When my order arrived it was missing the Free Spirit Box but came with a Robert Kaufman mystery box.  Oh my. NOT at all what I expected or wanted. But Craftsy was quick to fix the mistake and sent the Free Spirit Box and said I could keep the Robert Kaufman box.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Craftsy2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2216" title="Craftsy#2" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Craftsy2-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Box on left &#8211; I didn&#8217;t order but got to keep in the mixup. The bright happy Free Spirit on the right is what I ordered and got in the second shipping. Only there were three one yard cuts of the same print in the Free Spirit box. Hmm. When I read the description, it seems to imply that there are 14 different one yard cuts per box.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Craftsy31.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2217" title="Craftsy#3" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Craftsy31-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This bird print is the one I got triplicate of. It is cute and I&#8217;ll use it in a baby quilt, so I&#8217;m not complaining, just saying I got 11 prints of 14 cuts. Maybe that is usual? Anyway, I was pleased with how Craftsy quickly correcting the shipping mistake. Plus they offered free shipping on my next order. I just ordered several more one yard cuts and some Auriful thread yesterday.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Craftsy11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2218" title="Craftsy#1" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Craftsy11-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This the the Cotten + Steel kit. I love the bright colors and prints!</p>
<p>To-Do Tuesday List:</p>
<p>This week I have several baby quilts I want to FMQ and bind. And a pile of pillowcase pieces cut and ready to serge into pillowcases for <a href="http://www.conkerrcancer.org">ConKer Cancer</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m linking up to <a href="http://www.stitchallthethings.com/to-do-tuesday-3-24-15-spring/">To-Do Tuesday</a> and <a href="http://www.conniekresin.com/2015/03/linky-tuesday_24.html">Linky Tuesday</a>.</p>
<p>Happy Quilting!</p>
