I'm Not Sure How It Happened but......It's Wednesday Again

I can't believe it is Wednesday again.

My weeks fly by.

Thank goodness I am joining Lee at Freshly Pieced each week

or I might never believe or remember that I get anything done.

I have finished my quilt top from last week--

a birthday quilt for Nichole.

I did ask for suggestions on quilting--and then had the nerve to completely ignore all suggestions and do my own large scale meander stitch.  I was running out of time and panicked. I was afraid if I did something unique I would miss my deadline.

 Next, I made these 3 bags for the beginning of my Craft Hope donation.

They are collecting birth kits for mothers in Haiti.  Since I was blessed enough to have had 4 wonderfully clean and modern births (3 in the US and 1 in Canada) I committed to making 4 of these sets for Craft Hope.  Have you had a clean and comfortable birth in the US or Canada (or elsewhere)?

Consider making a few of these kits. Here is what needs to be in each kit.

Contents of safe birthing kit:

1 small bar of soap (updated 1/16/2011)
1 piece of clean plastic sheeting (3 feet wide by 4 feet long)
1 piece of clean string, 24 inches long
1 packet alcohol wipe
1 set of sterile latex gloves
1 packet (or travel container) Purelle
1 handmade tote bag

Optional:
receiving blanket–36 inches square
small “stuffy” toy

The bags are just the first step--I need to make receiving blankets and collect the other needed supplies.  The deadline is March 1st so I think I have left myself enough time.

 

And finally, I am sending out these bundles of 4 inch squares for an 'I Spy' swap hosted by FabriKate.

I am sending out 200 and getting 200 back--I love to see the fun variety of kids fabrics out there!
