Unhappy Camper

 I have a cold. So far it is just a sore throat and cough (I sound like a cross between Marlene Dietrich and a growling rabid dog) but I'm waiting for the rest to hit. Nyquil is my friend.

I got all the jelly roll quilts repaired, but I'm kinda tired of looking at them so I have put them aside. I'll square them up and make their backs later. I think I have plenty to quilt...still no Moxie - I'll call the dealer again tomorrow - if I don't get a good response, I'll contact the Handi Quilter headquarters, I've already talked to them once.

A lot of years ago I bought a doll cradle thinking I'd paint it and store quilts in it. I've decided that will never happen, so I cleaned up the cradle and made new bedding for it.

I made the pillow, receiving blanket and mattress cover from a very soft blue flannel I already had. The mattress is made from one of my FMQ practice quilts. I knew there was a reason to save it. I gave the set to a friend of my moms who has two great granddaughters under 3 years old. Hopefully they will have lots of fun playing with it.

I went to the Umpqua Valley Quilt Guild's show last Friday (I think that is where I caught the cold). Here are my two favorite quilts.

I forgot to take pictures of the labels for both quilts. I do know the quilt above is a Jaybird Quilts pattern and the one below is a Judy Niemeyer quilt pattern.

My pictures don't do these quilts justice. They were both beautiful. I'm not even tempted to make either. I just really enjoyed seeing them.

I also got all the Aunt Daisy units trimmed! Yes, there is an ! at the end, I'm so happy they are finally done. I'm not going to bore you a with a picture of trimmed blocks...the trimmed pile looks exactly like the untrimmed pile.
