It Is In Progress
Dennis’ oldest grandchild, Erin, lives at Silver Bay and works in the Veteran’s Home located there. She has three small girls. Erin has never asked for stitching from my sewing room for herself, though some for her daughters. The other two granddaughters have not been quite so reserved. Erin would make a great “Flower Child.” She dresses the three girls in skirts and dresses and does the curls and braids. I looked through the stashes and Dennis agreed a happy scrappy quilt for Erin was due. The 72 blocks will be bordered with the pink paisley and the blue paisley will be the cornerstones. Dennis helped with pressing and cutting. It sure helps on my hands. It is in progress and it will be a slow and steady process. A perfect project after tucking away the Christmas wall hangings. Projects using what I have on hand is the best. Yes, it helps that I have inherited stashes from friends who had quilted. When I work with those fabrics, it brings many wonderful shared moments.
