Last Handprint Quilt

This one is for me!

Another Quilt

I finished the 3rd quilt today just before heading out to dinner. Only mine left to complete and I think I'll make one for my dad too (for Father's day).

Mother's Day

Here are the first two quilts I did for Mother's Day for my mom and Gram.

The poem reads:

My Hands

These little hands can wave Hello
Or put smudges on the wall
They can fold in prayer, throw a kiss
Or reach up so very tall
They'll clasp your hand for a little stroll
Or shape a ball from clay
But most of all, they'll stay with you
When I'm grown up and far away

An afternoon of fun and a find that fits my 6yo!

We had fun painting a curtain for my sewing room, and painting Mother's Day gifts. Sorry no photos until Mother's Day in case my mom reads this...

And in my container of painting was a pair of PJs I made for my son that I was planning on adding some fabric paint as they are made from a white with light blue horizontal stripes. I made these when ds was 2 but they were WAY too big for him. The pants I've labelled as from Butterick 5164 size 2, but the top isn't labelled, but since it was made at the same time its probably a 2. Here is a picture of my 6yo daughter wearing them, who wears a size 122 in Ottobre.

Now the pants are capris and the top is a crop top!

BUT the top is still wide...




The Black shorts are Simplicity 9449 Size Small in black and grey knit with drawstring elastic. The pink ones were leggings with holes in the knees - now they are shorts!

Fabric Painting at a birthday parth

For dd1s birthday the girls painted shirts. This is her t-shirt. She was excited because the t-shirt had dried long enough so she could wear it today.


I didn't get pictures of the girls painting (as I was too busy helping), but was glad I had extra help as having six 4-6 year olds painting was a busy time.
