It's been a week or so since I last posted but life has just been really busy. My sister is on complete bed rest through the remainder of her pregnancy so I have been spending lots of time with her and helping her out a little by cleaning, laundry, mopping and such. She is now 35 weeks so hoping she can hang in there a little while longer.
Chantal had a routine appointment with the cardiologist so while waiting I worked on some hexies. I ended up getting 10 of them finished.
A dear friend from Church was at Chantal's baby shower and saw the burp cloths that I had made for her. She asked if I could make a set of 12 so that she could give them as a gift to a family member. So I whipped those up for her. They go together really quick and easy. I have more flannel leftover so I will probably use the rest to make more for Chantal. You can't have too many burp cloths!!!!
A pic of the back....
I was really excited the other day, I was given a clock that has been in my family for over 100 years. It measures a little over 38 inches long. The clock dates to 1905 and hung in a general store that belonged to my great aunt. She then gave it to my grandparents and it hung in their house for as long as I can remember. It hung on the wall right behind my grandfathers chair. I love it and I just want to cry every time that I walk by it. Such wonderful memories...
I guess that is all for now. I have another busy day ahead

do so hope all well be well for your sister and you are such a good sister to be there at her side taking care of things!! I have 3 sisters so know how that can be
You are so right about the burp cloths - that's something that I should make too, but I can't stand the feel of flannel so I don't want to work with that. Weird, huh? Your hexies are looking great. Remember I'm making my finished project much smaller than yours? I actually have the top all sewn together and have been auditioning border fabrics - I will applique the hexies onto a large piece and then trim the fabric out from behind the hexies. Hope to get it done soon. Great clock - I love the way the old ones tick, tick, tick.
Did you put something in between the two flannel layers?
I have a baby shower to attend soon and I could make those from the quilt scraps
Continuing to pray that your sister will hold out a little longer. ;-) I love that clock ... I had an old clock (not nearly as old as yours) that gave out. I couldn't find a repair shop that would replace the "innards" properly, with something that didn't sound plastic-y. :-(
What a wonderful family treasure to have. It is so nice that your sister has you so close to be able to be there for her. Blessings for you both.
You are such a good sister! And your hands are always busy.
Love that old clock!
