Baptism and a Halloween Killer Tomato Quilt

Our darling grandbaby was baptised today in chuch. This picture is of the proud mother and father with their newly baptized daughter. Aren't they a beautiful family? We think so.
The grandbaby was so good. She did not get fussy until after she was baptized. When the priest poured water over her sweet little head, she did not even cry! I was crying, but she was not! She seemed to enjoy the attention. There were a lot of family in attendance. It was a wonderful day to say the least.
Here is a picture of a quilt I donated to our guild. We offered opportunity tickets at the guild meeting last Tuesday. A friend of mine won the quilt for just one dollar. I decided that this quilt needed a new home where it would be used and loved. It was taking second place, actually third favorite at our house. I have a darling Jack 'O Lantern quilt that we hang on the wall at Halloween every year. I made the Killer Tomato quilt in my evening adult quilting class back in 2007. I was quite pleased that it raised $90 for our guild at the meeting. I wish everyone who bought a ticket could have won.
There was also a BOM drawing at our guild meeting. I made three darling Halloween blocks. My name went in the drawing, but I did not win. Oh well! I really do not need another Halloween quilt! But those blocks were so cute!!!
Have a great week.
Happy Quilting

What a wonderful picture of the "kids"!! Of course your grandaughter was well behaved, she is after all perfect :0)

I had to laugh at the Killer Tomato reference in your blog title. That old movie is one of my favorites, I wish someone would show that old classic LOL.

"Killer Tomato" makes me think of the old movie about the tomatoes. I don't know if I have ever seen the movie but have heard about it more than once.
How generous of you to donate a quilt to your guild for a fund raiser. I am asked to do a quilter's auction almost every year for a local guild. I am paid to do the auction but usually take quilt tops I am not going to quilt, fabric, etc. enough that they auction off for enough to cover the expense of what they pay me. And I get my sewing room cleaned out.
A beautiful baby in the picture!

What a wonderful picture of your beautiful GD and her family. How special that you could be there too.

Love the Killer Tomato quilt! (I never made it all the way through that movie.) Very generous of you to donate it and raise some $ for the guild.
