stroller blanket

Back in the fall I finished this quilt for a neighbour’s first grandchild, Logan. I was in a bit of time crunch so decided I would like to make a stroller blanket rather than a full crib size. There were lots of baby girl prints to choose from at the store but acquiring enough variety for a boy’s quilt was a little more difficult. I wanted something bright and fun.

Each of the squares are 5.5″ finished with 25 blocks altogether. For a simple contrast I machine sewed lines diagonally from corner to corner. Painters tape does a wonderful job of keeping my lines straight.

Since this quilt was a gift for a new mom I needed a little tag to add. I looked around the net for some good ideas for quick and simple tag ideas. I made this tag by taping some plain white cotton to a piece of paper and running it through my inkjet printer. A little crooked in spots but that adds to the charm don’t you think?

Cheers!

Hiatus  –  an interruption in time or continuity; a period when something (as a program or activity) is suspended or interrupted.

I have been MIA for almost an entire year now. The beginning of my hiatus can be traced back to an illness that put me down for over six weeks and by the time I emerged out the other side listless and fatigued my sewing mojo had up and moved out. They do that now and then you know. Well this mojo didn’t return for a long, long time. I was beginning to wonder if it was ever coming back. But come back it did and it is time to get on with the business of getting on.

In that almost-year that I was in hiding I was able to do a lot of thinking. And listening. A new Cotton and Linen is slowing taking shape and will be emerging over time. Let’s not rush things now, shall we?  But for starters I’ll just pick up where I left off and grow from there.

See you tomorrow!
