Sunday Church and ABC quilt

Sundays are a little different these days with an hours church service via Zoom.
It is so nice to be in the company and to be able to see other members of the Church of Latter Day Saints Ward I belong to.

My ‘Church’ set up, scriptures and iPad perched on a home made tissue box!
Although these are terrible times for many people, there is so much goodness being shown by neighbours and volunteers.
We all pray the Covid 19 virus will be kept under control very soon, and we can get back to our church meetings, jobs and seeing our families.

Talking of seeing our families, my neighbour, who I hardly knew before the pandemic, has become a life line helping me out with shopping, collecting prescriptions etc. They also became grandparents for the first time four weeks ago, but are unable to see the new baby while the restrictions are still in place. I offered to make the baby a quilt, and have spent every morning this week working on it.
Starting the alphabet quilt, with a theme of grey and a little blue and white. 

The machine embroidery letters each consist of 4500 to 5500 stitches, using Batik grey with fleece letters.
I machined simple quilting around the blocks in grey thread.
The quilt is backed with blue fleece to make a nice snuggle blanket.

The completed quilt, with the baby’s name and date of birth machine embroidered on the last block.
