This weekend I have been sewing on the charity quilt in the photo. I really like it. The bright colors pull at me and say "Look at me"!
I am not sure if I mentioned that this quilt is a free pattern from Cindy Carter. It is her Scrappy Heart Quilt pattern. She has several free patterns on her website, http://carterquilter.wordpress.com/. Check out her website.
I sewed on the first border this afternoon. I wanted to take a picture of this top to post in my blog before it was too dark to got outside for a photo. You know that it had to be breezy outside, right? Since I have not posted for a while, I wanted to get this top to a stage where there was at least one border applied. I took three photos outside. In each one the bottom row of the quilt top was crooked because of the sudden breeze. We finally came inside and DH held it up near the front window. There was enough light left that I was able to get a photo. It is not the best photo, but at least you can see all the rows and the first border.
I have not been finishing much lately. I have been sewing, but just not getting finished projects done. Maybe next week I can sew on the other borders.
There are two more rows to sew on my Em's 4 patch quilt and then I will take a picture of it to post. I had planned on finishing the 4 patch top last weekend, but alas - not so. I was so close I did not want to stop sewing and go to bed. Since I get up early on days when I babysit the grands, I knew I needed to go to bed or else I would not get enough sleep to keep me energized to deal with those two darling little never-stop-running toddlers.
Have a Happy Easter.
Hugs - Pam

Oh that is so sweet - and where is the purple. :-)
A very pretty charity quilt. Happy Easter to you.
A very pretty quilt indeed and I am impressed that you are making it as a charity quilt. So many times it seems like folks put the least amount of work possible into making charity quilts, when these quilts will undoubtedly be treasured by someone for many years. Yours is truely a happy quilt and I hope it finds a happy home.
What a happy quilt! Oddly enough, someone had one of these at our quilt group show and tell yesterday. She made each of her hearts a different color.

I always like to see someone do a charity quilt. I have made many of them over the years but none of late. I no longer belong to a quilt group. When I did, we made baby quilts for unwed mothers or people who could not afford a baby layette.
What a cute quilt top! Love those bright cheery colors.
Glad you're finding some time to sew when you can...I know you're so busy with those wonderful grandkids!
