A blank blog page? How crazy is that? Well, it's only blank today. I'm asking my Let's Go Sew friends to send in their project pics to share here. Watch as every day this page fills up with projects and pictures shows up. This page will feature both finished and unfinished projects. I can't wait to see this page bursting with your creations! Be sure to check back for updates during the week of March 23 - 28, and maybe even longer. I'll start the ball rolling tomorrow with the first project photos.
Time for Sew and Tell!
Day One
Day One
My friend Jan O'Malley starts off this week full of show and tell with her in progress colorful quilt. Seeing the pieces and parts come together is a fun part of the process, agree?!?
Jan describes her quilt in her own words, seen in purple. My words are in black.

My niece is expecting her first baby the end of this month so I'm making a baby tumbling block quilt. I'm including the baby's name, Cecilia, at the top using my embroidery machine to create letters that are appliquéd/embroidered on the fabric blocks. CECILIA has special meaning, it's my husband's mother's name and the baby's great-grandmother's name too!
My favorite is the pig letter A! I agree Jan, the pink pig letter is adorable!
Here's a closer look at these super cute letters.
I'll add white columns up each side first. Then I'll add more rows around the 4 sides before quilting. I ordered fabric online that I'm waiting for, for the backing, border and binding.
The baby is due soon so I'm sure Jan is busily working to finish this up. Thanks for sharing this cheerful quilt Jan! Your colors are perfectly enchanting and they seem to shout happy spring!!!
UPDATE! For those who are interested in the design collection Jan tells me it is a set from Designs by juju. Here is a direct link to the Farm Applique Set: https://bit.ly/2UdRZef
Another UPDATE! Here are a few more photos showing Jan's quilt and quilt label, plus a bonus photo with beautiful baby Cecilia on her new quilt!
