Wicked Easy Quilt




Yes this quilt is Wicked Easy. I found a very simple free pattern online, if there's interest I will find the link upstairs somewhere..., and made this quick little quilt for our guild's participation in National Quilting Day last Saturday. Our guild has started a tradition of leaving a baby quilt in our local hospitals to be given to the first baby born on National quilting day. Its worked out real nice and we always get some wonderful thankyous! This little quilt has lots of my Scottie dog collection in it, I really didn't have fabric for children that was suitable for either a boy or girl but I think the Scotties will pass ok. Did I tell you this quilt only takes a couple hours to make at the most?

Another thing we do for National Quilting Day is work with our local libraries and have a small display and demos going on. We usually bring some quilts in to hang and then do something like a bed turning whenever we have a few people standing there. Its works nice and our librarian usually gets out quilting books, etc and sets them out. We also bring some handwork to do, one of our ladies was handquilting this year and I was attempting to bind. Its amazing how the men are interested in the quilts, they want to know all about the details of them.
The snow is kinda leaving, woke up and there was snow all over again on Monday! But a lot of it has melted now and I hope we get a little warmer weather so I can feel a little more peppy! I haven't really had time to work on anything innovative and that hurts too...
