School started and all my sewing plans have been put on hold. I'm teaching high school science classes and I'm a little overwhelmed right now. But every time I pass by my sewing machine--which is all set up and ready to go--I want to drop everything and sew something!
I'm almost finished with that chicken quilt. I am hand stitching the binding when we're all gathered around watching a movie. I finished another small clutch bag so we'll have a few things to sell at the craft show in November. A friend of mine reserved a table at a local church. That should be fun.
I also made a baby quilt for my newest granddaughter. The quilt was very cute, but the photo was poor, so I'm not posting a picture. Liana made this sweet little flannel jacket for baby Eva. She also knitted her a hat. It reminds me of layettes that mothers used to put together for their babies before they were born. I think my own mother made these jackets for my brothers.
Liana has also been busy sewing birthday gifts for another grandchild. Liana made a cut-out decorative pillow and a hair bow for 9-year old Mattie. Mattie was quite pleased with her gifts!
My oldest son is getting married in January and I promised him a quilt. I have the fabric, but getting started is the difficult part! I know, it sounds impossible to make a queen-sized quilt by January. But I really think I can do it! Okay, now I'm wondering if I can...
