To-Do Tuesday and A Sweet Photo

 Today I'm joining Roseanne at Homesewn By Us and friends for To-Do Tuesday list and update.

Finished "B" blocks for Exploding Heart QAL

Let's see how I did on last week's To-Do list:
1. Finish embroidery project bag for granddaughter - almost done, just need to hand stitch the binding
2. Cut pieces for Exploding Heart QAL - Block "B" DONE, waiting for more background fabric
3. Get busy on Meadowland quilt - still sitting in the basket
4. Continue to work on Village in the Snowfall embroidery - still stitching
5. Make RSC blocks - pieces still waiting to be sewn

Granddaughter's project bag almost finished

This week's To-Do List:
1. Work on granddaughter's project bag
2. If fabric arrives, cut more pieces for Exploding Heart QAL; still have another week to sew all the blocks
3. Sandwich Meadowland quilt
4. RSC blocks
5. Round Robin border
6. Village in the Snowfall embroidery

Beverly and her quilt

I wanted to share a sweet photo of the recipient of a quilt I made last year. Beverly is the older sister of Myrna, my best friend from childhood, and I posted about the quilt I made for her in this post last April. Beverly was recently moved from Oklahoma to a nursing home closer to Myrna, who lives in Georgia. Myrna said that quilt was a big comfort to Beverly throughout her move and relocation. That made me cry happy/sad tears, then I received the above photo and that made me tear up again!

Be sure to visit the linky party to see how other busy bloggers have been doing with their projects!

  3. Your granddaughter's project bag is looking just great, Linda! I bet she'll love it. Looking forward to seeing how your Exploding Heart quilt progresses, too. That's such a nice picture of your friend with her quilt! Isn't that a good feeling to know she will enjoy using it?

  4. Hi Linda! Your granddaughter's bag is coming along so nicely. Those fabrics in Exploding Heart are wonderful. And Beverly and her quilt is just fab!! What a nice smile and I'm glad she is closer to her sister. What a nice gift and something physical to get her through all these big changes. Thanks for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne
