B wanted to make a
When he came on Tuesday I had baseball fabric ready for him to learn how to make a pillowcase. This was only the second one ever that I have done. And I didn't do much on this one. I found directions online for the burrito case and had him read them and then I cut and pinned. He did all the sewing and did an awesome job for an 8 year old. He was pretty proud of his sewing! Here he is with his projects.
In some of my free time I love to make greeting cards, I forget to show them most of the time. But I decided to try to sell some in my Etsy shop so I finally got a photo! I am going to sell them in sets of 6 cards with envelopes.
What's in store for your week? We have the MN quilt show in town, I'll be there on Thursday and Friday. In between that I want to continue working on my OMG turkey runners. I have a few other runners to bind also. And maybe a couple more runners to piece, I have another idea or two for snowman runners:) That bike ride must have relaxed me as I got these ideas while going down the trail! Whatever you do this week have fun!
How exciting that your grandson wants to sew. He did a fine job with his two projects! Of course, it helps that he had an excellent teacher. Cute cards, too. It's rainy and cool here, too, so I've been getting things done in my Hidey Hole!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend the week! I have been busy writing a pattern, but I did finally get to sew a bit yesterday. Hopefully more today as well.
ReplyDeleteB did great on his projects! Your cards are beautiful; I'm sure they won't stick around long in your shop. You know what I'm up to this week (at least I hope so). See you at the show!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! B did a great job on his quilt and pillowcase. Was he happy with the bigger sized quilt? Did it cover as many animals as he had hoped? He looks quite proud of himself - tell him he did a fabulous job for me, please. Are you taking a class at the show? Have fun! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to sew with B! And Happy Birthday to you, too! Are you taking a class with Bonnie Hunter? I just read on her blog that she's teaching at the MN quilt show this week. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to read of your grandson sewing with you. What a treasured time spent with a dear boy! His work is lovely!
ReplyDeleteCute cards! And I always love seeing your handsome grandson. His projects turned out so great!! It's just the best thing that he wants to sew with you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun with your grandson....I use to sew with my sons. Love your greeting cards
ReplyDeleteSuch great sewing from B! He did a great job! And that does sound like a fantastic way to spend your birthday! Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteSince I used to live in the town where you live, I am curious as to where you went biking. It could very well be a place I went with my family a lot as a child/teen.
Cute cards. I look forward to when I will be able to sew with my grands.
ReplyDeleteCuteness overload ahead!!! You should have posted this warring on the top :-D Those colors -blue, green and purple have universal appeal and the cards will fly off in no time.
