Custom made kitchen towels and hot pads.

One of my husband's distant relatives is getting married this Saturday. Unfortunately, due to my husband's illness, we had to cancel our plans and couldn't go. But we still mailed the gift. Along with that, I wanted to make something nice for them, as they've always been very nice to us. I bought some terry cloth and made kitchen towels, embroidered their names on them. I also made matching hot pads. I hope they enjoy it!

Working on a baby quilt

My sister-in-law is going to have her baby girl at the end of July. She already has 2 boys and this will be her 1st little girl. I make something for all newborn kids in my family. I wanted to make a quilt for her and send it to my sister-in-law before the baby is born. She lives in Cincinnati and it's a very long drive from here, so unfortunately, I don't think that we're going to be going there to see the baby right away.

So, I started on this quilt yesterday. I've had the embroidered blocks for a while and just kinda started sewing around them and making my own pattern. This is what I have accomplished as of yesterday.
