Back to Sewing

A couple of weeks ago my daughter got married.  She was a beautiful bride and it was a perfect day.  

For November in Ohio the weather was gorgeous.  It was sunny and in the 50's.

This is a picture of my daughter, Tonya, and her friend Amanda.  Amanda's mother is having cancer surgery on Tuesday.  I got busy sewing and made Amanda's mother this prayer quilt.  I mailed it to her on Friday and she received the quilt on Saturday.  I think Sudoku Quilts are always very pretty.

Even Sherry likes the quilt.

I finally found the words I have been looking for to make my prayer quilts extra special and meaningful.  I found a prayer shawl on Pinterest and Louis Chiquette had a wonderful description of the meaning of the prayer shawl.  Louis was kind enough to let me use this meaning to work for my prayer quilts.

I went Black Friday shopping to Good Wives Co. Quilt Shop.   I purchased these two pieces of fabric.  I love this kind of Black Friday shopping.

I need to go back to sewing on another prayer quilt.

I hope you have a sewing week.

Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin

Back in March I signed up for a Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin over at Michele's Quilts From My Crayon Box.   Here is the block I made for the round robin.

My block started it's journey by traveling to England to visit Diane.  The next 7 months I didn't know where was my block.  A few weeks ago the block arrived home and oh how it had changed.

I spent a few days admiring the block and I decided it only needed quilted and binding.

Here is my finished block.

  As you can see it is a beautiful addition to my table.

Thank you ladies for making this round robin fun and for the treasured table runner that now graces my table.
