Sew & Share - Time For Some Sewing Show And Tell - Day One

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

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!
Picture
My favorite is the pig letter A! I agree Jan, the pink pig letter is adorable!
Picture
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!

Thank you, Joanne, and everyone else for your uplifting comments and for this blog. I am so honored and it truly has made my day! I'm enjoying working on this quilt and will soon be starting the quilting process. I ordered backing fabric online and once the fabric with little ballerinas on it arrives that step will begin after it's washed/ironed. Thanks again, everyone! ~Jan

Here are a few more comments that came directly to me:

M.L.C. from Arkansas "Lovely colors and pattern."

K.B says this , "Nice and bright!!!"

Lilo wants more info about the letters so she can make both girl's and boys's quilts for her grandchildren. Here is her question "Where did those Super Cute Letters come from??"

Beautiful ! Makes me a little envious through. I started cutting out squares for a summer quilt and didn't get to JoAnn's to buy the white fabric I wanted for the sashing and borders before we decided to stay home and play it safe. If I had it I could have been halfway through. What I saw online wasn't quite right so I didn't place an order. Best wishes to the new family.

love the letters !!! Good project for using scraps. If you don't have any children to sew for, you can make one then give to local fire department , hospital, Ronald McDonald house, homeless sheltered, etc.
Just to sew a cotton fabric without batting for light blanket and give to someone in need, helps with keeping my mind and hands busy so I don't worry about the bad thing in life. Happy Sewing !!!
