Today – A Glimmer
Using some of the trim on a dress of Ava’s with a bit of the dress fabric, a bit of this and a bit of that and I will be pulling all the blocks together with a fabric in between, much like a jigsaw puzzle.
Today in my sewing studio there was a glimmer, perhaps tomorrow will be one of my miracles. Dennis’ oldest granddaughter has asked me to make a memory quilt of her oldest daughter, Ava’s, childhood garments. Yesterday, I did make the comment that sometimes there was little given to work with. Today, after several cups of rich clarifying coffee, I know why.
Ava is the oldest of three girls. Ava is in second grade, Bella is in preschool and Josie just turned one. All of Ava’s clothes get triple duty and mom, Erin, is not one to be frivolous. Today, I decided to put a few extra touches in play for Ava. I do have several more ideas on making use of what I have for Ava. There are several items of t-shirt material that will need a bit of stabilizer before becoming a part of the project.
Dennis was right on when it comes to knowing what I can contrive.
