This little cutie is about to turn 3.
This is the story of how I decided to make her a quilt for her big girl bed in her new room she will get for her birthday. It started out with me ordering a fat quarter bundle of It’s a Hoot by MoMo because it matched the colors I wanted to paint her room so wonderfully.
Do you remember back in school where you had to write down one thing, then the next thing that popped into your head, then the next… You know, stream of conscious. That is what my sewing day was like today. Let me outline it for you.
#1. I have strep throat, so I didn’t want to do major sewing. I am, however, dying to get into this stack of fabric:
I finally had the chance to give my niece Ains the quilt I made her for Christmas. Hands down my favorite thing I have made for anyone ever. Here’s the story:
My grandma Lottie was a very special person. She was cranky and mean and spoke her mind. She would also do absolutely anything she could for anyone she knew. It didn’t matter what her personal circumstances were, she would run (but not literally because she had very bad legs) to the aid of her friends or family whenever they had need. When she got to the point she physically couldn’t do it any more, she directed my Aunt Colleen to do it in her stead (although Aunt Colleen is the type to do it on her own anyway) up until she passed away.
I found this late yesterday afternoon. Heidi and Bobbi throw this party together to encourage us to finish up some serious sewing on a Friday night. How fun to know that you are sewing hard all night while a bunch of other women do the same. I immediately joined, after all, I was planning on sewing anyway! All evening and after the kiddos’ bedtime.
That was the plan anyway.
Then Katie called and needed someone to watch my adorable nephew Liam for the evening while she was on a photo shoot. And what kind of a small business-woman would I be if I didn’t help out another?
Here is another project I have been working on for quite a while now. I bought the fabric about a year ago to make a quilt for my little Lottie. I was planning her new bedroom for when we move her out of the nursery. We’re still planning that – just working on finishing the basement so we can move my sewing studio/office downstairs and put her in this bedroom.
