Sewing

I have been sewing a little bit more and I really do love it.  The first thing I did was to put together blocks that baby shower guests designed with waterproof markers at the shower into a quilt.  I have had a stripe fabric with red, blue, yellow, green and orange on a white background for so long in my stash that worked perfectly to set these blocks together with.  My sister Judy had some fabric in her stash that I used for the backing of the quilts.  I hope Megan & Valerie enjoy them.  It was a cute idea for a baby shower to occupy guests and to have a remembrance from that day.   I hope their babies arrive soon.  I am anxious meet them.

Alisha has a new baby, Isaiah, who was born February 1 and permanantly joined their family a week later.  I am so happy for Alisha, Jake & Emelyn and excited to meet the little guy.  I want to make a quilt for him before I do meet  him and have ideas in mind but have not nailed down the right thing for him yet.  It will be fun to create something for him.

Today my Great-Babies, Layne & Macie, turn three.  They love to help Mommy and Aunt Lizzie cook.  Liz is in culinary school and wears a chef hat as part of her school uniform.  I made chef hats for the twins.  It was so fun to do.   I did an Internet search for sewing chef hat and found a lot of web sites with tutorials.  I read several of them and then went to the sewing machine and did my thing based on what I had read. 

Well, I'm off to begin creating my next sewing adventure.
