My mom called this afternoon after work to tell me that my Granny’s in the hospital, and isn’t going to be feeling up to having the fam up for Thanksgiving. Both sides of the situation are disappointing: having her be in the hospital, and not being able to give her the quilt. Hopefully she’ll be feeling up to having company again in the near future, and I’ll be able to deliver the quilt then. Bummer.
But let’s not be sad, people! I’ve got more project news to report!
I’m halfway done with a Christmas gift that I’m making for the teacher that I work with. I had all the kids in the class sign a canvas bag (one was sick, and I still have to have her sign it, but she’s a bit of a loudmouth tattle-tale, and I’m waiting until the last possible moment for her to sign it so that she doesn’t give the surprise away) and I’m embroidering over their signatures. (There’s nothing cuter than a bunch of first-grade signatures written in bright colored floss.) The first side is finished, and I hope the backside goes as fast as the front did.
Sarah Buddy! I love coming to your quilt page and seeing what you’re up to…anyway, I was in Kansas last week and they have a super great “quilter’s paradise”-type store. You would love it. It’s called The Button Hole and it’s in McPherson, Kansas. Just in case you ever get there, it’s huge and great and the fabric is superb. Thought I’d let you know. =) Your projects look wonderful.
Oh wow – what an adorable idea! I love it! 🙂
HEY SORRY ABOUT YOUR GRANNY HOPE SHE FEELS BETTER SOON. AND HEY ANNA I USE TO LIVE IN MCPHERSON AND THE BUTTON HOLE IS THE GREATEST PLACE TO SHOP. HAVE FUN EVERYONE WITH YOUR QUILTS AND SHOPPING
