Project Linus Make a Blanket Day

Saturday, February 19, was PL's MABD. I finished four fleece blankets that I had cut a few months ago and took them along to Landis Homes where our Lititz-Lancaster chapter holds its quilting bees. My job at these gatherings is to serge the quilts together in our assembly line to finish the quilts. The job was so much easier this time because I was using my new (used) Baby Lock serger. My old Bernina serger always gave me fits with all of the thread tearing and rethreading I had to do. If you are planning to buy a serger, Baby Lock with its air-jet threading is the only way to go!

Attached are pictures of the two blankets I embroidered. The other two were printed fleeces so I don't have pictures of those.

I am recovering nicely from the two surgeries I had this month. Hopefully by the time nice weather arrives, I will be able to get out and enjoy it. 8-D

UFOs finished!

I found a couple of sweet UFOs that I forgot I had. Now they are finished and can go to our Project Linus Make a Blanket Day later this month and then passed on to the hospital for two more babies. Knitting projects are tops on my list while I am recouperating from knee surgery to fix a torn meniscus. I have an afghan up next that I started ages ago and then lost the directions.
