First of all - thank you all for the good wishes for my granddaughter. She seems to be back on the road to recovery thankfully. She might get to go home by the end of the week.
My To Do (quilting and other things) list for this week is seeing some things checked off already, and it's only Tuesday. Yay!! And as soon as I drop of the latest box of "declutter" items, I can check one more thing off the list.
One box of "stuff" is ready to go. Every little bit helps, but I have a long way to go on this decluttering journey. Thanks Joy for being my Declutter Buddy!!
A big quilt can be checked off the UFO and PHD lists. Tranquility is 93" square and heavy, heavy, heavy. I took it to The Pin Cushion on Monday to let them check it off the PHD (projects half done) challenge. We put 12 projects onto that list at the beginning of the year, and turned it in at the shop. I now have 4 projects checked off. The first 3 were smaller projects, so getting this BIG one done is very satisfying. It will be set aside to be a future gift.
On Monday I took 2 boxes to the post office to mail. Both boxes contained quilts I made as gifts. This quilt is headed for Texas. It is a graduation gift for my great-niece. She is an equestrian, so I knew this panel would be perfect for her when I saw it. In the box with the quilt is a set of 2 pillowcases made of cowboy boot fabric plus the teal used in the quilt. I can't wait to see her reaction.
The second box held a baby quilt headed to Georgia for the first baby of a great-nephew. I couldn't find my picture of the finished quilt, but here it is before quilting. This pattern was Ebb Tide by Villa Rosa. The lion print is so cute, and this pattern really allows a fun print to be the star of the show.
The little Easter table runner is a flimsy, ready to quilt. I even have it sandwiched with a batting scrap, and the backing from the kit. A striped binding is cut and waiting as well. There is also a doll quilt all sandwiched for quilting. Maybe both will happen this week.

So glad to her that granddaughter is doing much better. You've definitely made the most of your distractions and have some wonderful finishes to show for all that concentration. The Easter table runner is really cute.
Tranquility is gorgeous! It will be treasured by whomever is the recipient. Adorable eggs and bunny on the runner.
Good news about your granddaughter! Gosh, you have been busy. The quilts are lovely and good job on decluttering.
Yikes -- I missed the post about your granddaughter (I went back and found it). Glad she is okay! Your new big quilt is wonderful. I really like the string-pieced Easter eggs. Congratulations on decluttering success.
Good news is always a pick up. Love how your paper piecing is such a great table runner! And YOUR BIG UFO! Hooray for you!
Good to hear that Olivia is feeling better! Your Tranquility is a beauty of a quilt! Made it to the woods safely:)
