HOLIDAY
KITS
Since
our last bee Denise and I have been busy making patriotic preemie kits for
all those babies that will be in the hospital during the July
4th
holiday. And I have also layered a few crib quilts with patriotic colors.
Patriotic
themed quilts are acceptable any time of year but at Independence
Day they
are a must! Halloween
is just around the corner and we’ll have to make a few quilts using that
FUN theme and those eye popping COLORS.
But they can’t be too scary.
It
will be Christmas
before you know it! I’ve already started to think about getting Peace by
Piece kits ready using Christmas
fabrics.

NEW STUFF!
Last month I promised you some FUN new fabrics to get creative
with and then couldn’t deliver because my body decided it was time to be
host to a nasty bug. I promise you’ll get to play with those this month.
And you all had soooo much FUN with the DINOSURS panel that I went on a
search and was able to find a few more of those for us to play with. I
heard Terry did some very creative quilting on those guys.

BATTING,
BATTING, BATTING…
Bear with me… We’re back to the batting topic again.
I’ve got a new, less expensive, batting for us to try out this month.
I’ve got both the Peace by Piece suitcase jam packed full of layered
quilts and most of them were layered with a new batting for us to try out.
So plan on doin’ some quilting this month. This batting came HIGHLY
recommended by the ladies out at Sunrise Village. They make MANY MANY
quilts for AZ Blankets 4 Kids EVERY month and this is their batting of
choice.

THEN
THERE’S THE LABELS
I’ve
placed an order for 100 more labels. Since everyone seemed to think our
current labels were worthy of being on our quilts I ordered the same ones
again. We do need to figure out WHAT labels we are going to put on the
Preemie quilts we make. The current labels are just too BIG to go one
those little tiny quilts!
I know the Az Blankets 4 Kids board members are having the same label
dilemma we are. So put on your label thinkin’ cap and see if you can
come up with a Preemie label solution.
