My daughter loves....

Ky loves to sew. She alters her own clothes, and she designs clothes too.

She didn't actually design this vest, She got the idea from the internet, went upstairs and came down later that day with the vest all finished.

I think it turned out really pretty and fits her very well. I love that she has many blossoming talents that are becoming evident as she matures. I'm very proud.

New Quilt for a New Baby

We spent the 3rd real day of Mike's retirement at home. We took a long walk together then he went out back to burn some brush piles since we've finally had enough rain to lift the burn ban. I brought the sewing machine downstairs and put together this little quilt for a friend's new baby boy.


I had all the squares cut already and the sun was bright through the windows in my sunroom, and the quilt went together quickly.

I finished it by tying the middle of the squares and each corner of the squares with brown embroidery thread.

And because it is Texas after all, I made sure the red print reflected that fact with these little cowboy hats. I had such a peaceful morning, sitting in the sun and sewing this gift for little baby Aidan.
