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.

Burp Cloths, Bibs & A Card OPAM

I know you are all probably tired of seeing my burp cloths and bibs that I make but I just think they are so much fun.

My daughter Mandy asked me to make a set for a gift for her friend so I got busy.
This was a few weeks ago and I am just now showing you.


I am just a beginner but I love making them.

I have a Brother embroidery machine and I am learning how to use it.


Can you tell this gift was for a baby girl??


Do you remember when Becky sent me the package of card making goodies?
Well I took the bag to Mandy and she got busy and put together this sweet card.
Didn't Mandy do a great job? Becky had the lamb all cut out and Mandy added the extras.
Thank you Becky!
Mandy gave this card with her gift. She said everyone loved it.
The burp cloths and bibs are the last project that I have completed.
Life has stopped me from getting into my sewing room lately.
But I am planning on changing that!!!
