Not bad for 2 afternoon's worth of work.

ta-da!
Yesterday I realized that one of Tim's work colleagues was expecting a baby any day and I hadn't yet made her a baby quilt. Mary, my big sewing helper, and I selected a pattern, picked out a dozen pink fabrics and cut out and sewed the quilt top. Mary did a great deal of the sewing, though I did have to take out a few wonkily pieced seams. Today I basted, quilted it in a big meandering stipple pattern, and sewed on the binding. The back features a quote I found in a book about motherhood, "The most important handshake of your life will happen when your newborn infant's tiny hand grabs hold of your index finger."
Not bad?
ReplyDeleteI'd say really good! It looks lovely. I am sure the new mama will appreciate such a beautiful, handmade treasure.
I still have the quilt made for me by my co-workers, almost 23 years ago, when I was expecting my first child.
Very pretty. I can't believe you got all that quilting done in two afternoons -- you are good!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Did you go to bed? Sheesh girl, when do you sleep?!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine crocheted a blanket for my youngest and he still has a tiny row of it 7 years later. He's been a bit like Linus with it, hence the tiny strip!
Good job!
