quilt - baby

 

For the past three days, I’ve been cutting and sewing a baby quilt I’ve been working on.  Elisha’s sister, Anna, is having a baby shower on April 3rd.  I wanted to have her gift ready before I left for my Florida trip.  Now it is in the washer doing the fraying thing. I also hope it is getting the chalk line off.  It was supposed to wipe off with a wet wash cloth, but it didn’t.

I really have enjoyed sewing.  It made me think of my grandmother.  She taught me quite a bit.  As a teenager, I didn’t want to iron the fabric and other things that would make the process go smoother, but I’ve found myself listening to her advice now. 

I’m supposed to be getting packed.  I think I will start now that my project is done.  Maybe, I will cut out my nightgowns and try to get them done.  I could be pushing it, but I’ll see.

I do need to get lunch as I’m an hour late for that!
