Early this month I made a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt for Caleb.  You may remember that he was a little caterpillar for Halloween this year.  This fabric has been waiting for about 15 years for the perfect moment.  It’s time has come!

The perfect quilting was done by my friend, Penny Stephenson.

Last month I bound 4 Chopped Snakes Quilts–one for each of the kids with one to spare.  I have SO MANY scraps!  I will keep making these quilts until I run out (NEVER).  These quilts are made to be used–at ball games, at the beach, for picnics.  Maybe there will be one quilt for each grandchild when they get married (I’ll be dead by then).  Oh well.  I’ll just keep sewing!

Overflowing scrap piles:

I made these Princess Pillowcases for Vivy and Lenna Lew, who are my dearest little princesses right now!

Another old project brought to light.  This top is now finished.

I finished appliqueing these Grandmother’s Flowers last month while recovering from my hip surgery.  Now this quilt is also finished!

And Oh My Stars is back from the quilter, ready now to bind.  It’s beautiful!  All hand-pieced, about 20+ years in the making.

Last of all, I sewed borders onto 4 more I Spy quilts, 2 pink, 2 blue.  Ready now for the next steps.

I think sewing is my avoidance therapy.  Whenever I thought about going out into the world to shop for Christmas gifts, I ended up downstairs in the sewing room instead.  It’s my happy place.
