A donation quilt up next

Isn't this ABC fabric adorable? I was cleaning and straightening my stash when I came across this older Holly Holderman fabric panel from Lakehouse. 

I have an assortment of coordinating fabrics too. I've been thinking of making a few small donations quilts for the hospital. They give a blanket or quilt and a teddy bear to each child that is staying overnight for the first time. I've donated a few before but this last week was the first time someone I knew, would receive one. 

Charlie got pretty sick this past week. He was kept overnight...and being only 2, he was pretty scared. Of course, his mom was with him, but still, all those tests, IVs, machines.... It's a lot for a two year old to understand. He just wanted to go home. 

Well, the nurses brought in a Dinosaur blanket and a teddy....he was so happy. Him and his brother love dinosaurs. 

This was the first time I got to see the joy these donations bring.

So my project this month is to make a couple of pediatric quilts. One for a boy and one for a girl. I know I have a lot of other projects that need working on but they can wait.

I DID finish the mondo bag I started last week. I'll be heading downstate to visit my dad overnight and this bag is perfect for a quick trip.

It's also a great beach bag. I love how it turned out. These fabrics were calling out to me to be used. If you know me, you know I love blues. I made a blue one once before but it was "borrowed" by a daughter. It's nice to have one again.
