He just brightens my day...


This cutie-patootie is often found under the long arm. Here, drawing, and there, doing some schoolwork. I have a trundle bed under there for when the company overflows the guest bedroom. Among other things... Nothing makes Abe happier than a fresh quilt on the frame that he can "hide" under. This quilt is giving me grief. I put the borders on and I must say there was a huge amount of "stretchage" and now I have some pretty big waves. What was a girl to do when the quilt was 5" longer on one side than the other? So... I may have to knock off the borders when I'm done. Too bad it isn't my quilt. Ain't that the way it always goes? sigh.
On a brighter note... the cold that I was wrestling with is almost down for the count. Still in my head, but not nearly as bad and I might be able to skip the nap today. Maybe. I have all 10 dresses sewn up for the girls and now I just need to dig out the machine that does automatic button holes- it's under the longarm...somewhere. Then there are 6 pinafores... I finished all the blocks for the wedding quilt- just need to join those together- it's gonna be a pretty one, if I do say so, myself. Hope everyone that is snowed in has a big supply of thread and lots of good hot cups of tea.

  2. Isn't he a cutie?!! I love your valentine-y header. And those "Anne" dresses are adorable. Is there a pattern or did you just wing it?

  7. He looks like fun company! And loosing teeth, oh my! My boy is 6 1/2 and still has all his baby teeth. Oh boy - they do grow fast, don't they? I hope you feel better soon. And 10 dresses, oh my! But - I often sew several of the same pattern and tell people - it is just as easy since you have everything out anyway. I am sure the girls will love their new frocks! Cheers! Evelyn
