Sisters (301)

So my sister Lisa called me up and asked if I could give her a hand with a quilt a whole group of friends made for their friend who’s going through a rough time…so I said of course, come on over – what fun we had.

One of her friends assembled the top, so we picked borders and backing, now onto the pinning..

 

first time Lisa “quilted” a quilt and she sure enjoyed it…nice job Li – ps the gloves worked good hey? (she wasn’t sure the gloves were “all that” but then after a bit she said they were worth it lol)

…binding, the best part, right?

ps her friend LOVED it. This is the true meaning of quilting…when the patches are made by all different people, for one special person, who needs something to snuggle up in and keep her thoughts warm and safe. What a gift…so special.

Me Mondays: Baby Girls Room (300)

What a delightful post number 300 is all about London’s room and how much sewing I’ve been doing – not a lot of projects mind you but alot of sewing…here’s what I’ve been working on.

It all started with London’s room being a bit cold with our dipping temperatures, and she likes it really dark when she sleeps, so I picked up block out material also.

I wanted the dots to be larger – so I found a good template, nothing like a Christmas plate to brighten any job.

Pink, of course

good paid of paper scissors and fabric scissors – 40 circles later

all randomly appliqued in place with an iron, then by machine. I got it down to sewing 10 dots on a panel (there is 4 panels) to 1 panel in 1 hour – all while she slept.

Super cute!!
