OK, After an evening with my blogging Granddaughters, I am determined to figure this out. I have been very busy sewing for my new grandson. I had wanted to make him a quilt as soon as I knew he was coming, but with several complications along the way, his Momma was very leery about planning for him. So I waited till he was born, for his Mommy's sake. What a blessing when he arrived safe and sound!! The answer to so many prayers!! And time to celebrate and SEW! I had decided that I would like to make him an embroidered quilt like Addyson's favorite blanket ( a hand-me-down from her Dad). It's amazing how many patterns are just not meant for little boys! But, even tho there are flowers on every block, I figured puppies were kind of a boy thing. It had been years since I had done any embroidery so it took a while to get it going but, after a couple of weeks, I got that part done. Then to find fabric to compliment the blocks and be for a boy. Once the fabric was finally picked, the assembly began. Once again, it took a while but I really like the way it turned out. Then, I visited a quilt guild meeting and listened to this lady, Jacquie Gering. What an inspiration. From her presentation and blog, I discovered a new approach to quilting. I just love the feel of it!! Not nearly as precise as her work, but it kind of has it's own look. My favorite part is the back. I hope that Liam gets lots of snuggles from this quilt for many years to come!!
