Just Me & Her

"Sweet Teen" (my oldest Grand) helped me pick out the fabric for this baby quilt.
We did change one of the fabrics once we got home. We found some that we liked better.
A special friend asked me to make one for her for a  baby gift.
What an honor.

Then Sweet Teen came home with me and I got busy on the baby quilt.

I had so much fun spending the day with my Granddaughter.
Just me & her.

Sweet Teen is a great artist so when she spotted the paint
and all the card making items that Becky had sent me
she started working on an Easter card.

She amazes me how she can draw and paint.
She takes a design class at school and loves it.
I think it just comes naturally to her.
Isn't that card so cute???

Sweet Teen has been wanting to learn how to embroider on this machine.
So her next project was to figure it out.
After just a few minutes of checking the embroidery machine out
 she taught me things that I didn't know.

You can see some of her art on my wall in my sewing room.
I have kept things from when she was a little girl.

The following weekend we went to the Sparta Hilton.
I am trying to talk "Sweet Teen" in to coming to the hunting cabin but she isn't
convinced that it is her kind of fun!!!
Anyway, I finished putting the binding on the baby quilt that I had started.

I used my little featherweight to sew the binding on.
I had so much fun!

Then I sat in Granny's recliner and sewed the binding on the quilt at the Sparta Hilton.
I can't wait until turkey season starts.....I will get to sew some more!!!
I love this hunting stuff!

Here is the baby quilt finished.
It turned out so cute even if I say so myself. (lol)
I told my friend that I was not a professional but I love to sew.
It was such an honor for her to ask me to do this.
She even paid me to have all this fun!!!

Today I am thankful ............
for some special time with "Sweet Teen".
Just me & her.

30 Minutes A Day & OPAM

One of my daughters friends asked her if I would consider making a baby quilt for a gift.

I am not a professional but I said yes.

I had so much fun doing this for her.

This is after I quilted it on my machine before I squared it up.
I used masking tape to try to keep my lines straight.
They are not perfect but Granny says there is no such thing as a perfect quilt.

This is showing the back after I did the quilting before the binding was on.
I worked on this 30 minutes here and there and finished it today.

I did the binding with some fleece that is white with blue stars on it.
I added the lace to just to jazz it up some.
I wish it showed the binding better but it still looks pretty good.

This is a close up view of the corner.

I thought it turned out pretty cute.

You can see more of the binding on the back of it.

I really appreciate Marandas friend having the confidence in me to do this for her.

I am proud of it.

I went and delivered it to her today.

Maranda said that she loved it.

I loved doing it. It was so much fun.

Thank you Kathy!!!
