Yes, that's the question my dear sister asked me the other day! I feel like I don't really have anything fantastic to show so I had to dig a bit. Some of you may remember an earlier post when I showed the wall hangings for the newest nieces and nephews. Well, I finally got the last two...my own grandchildren...completed.
Almost a year ago I made a wall hanging for the granddaughter of a very dear friend and his wife. Well, lo and behold, they were gifted by their other son with another grandchild this past March. I know from past experience that one can not have something that the other does not so this newest arrival got a wall hanging also. The whole family just knew that the baby was going to be a boy. (They did not want to know; they wanted it to be a surprise.) Well, they got their surprise alright....It was a girl!!!! I was nervous about this wall hanging because her mom quilts. Got a thank you card from them and the wall hanging is now hanging on baby girl's bedroom door.
What I'm working on now...or trying to work on anyway... is a baby boy quilt that has been a folded and waiting for awhile. (It hasn't been by its lonesome, though...it has had plenty of company!!) It is slowly coming along. I have to tie off and pull threads before I can do the binding and finishing. I have no idea how long it is going to take me. I seem to have several interruptions during the day and by night I'm just plain tired! This summer my daughter is taking a much needed break from her college classes, so hopefully it will be better. But now, I have to go hem some slacks.
