This year opened a whole new world for me...Crafting, who knew?
I "made" a few gifts this year, and wanted to share a few of them...
My Sister-In-law's Great Grandmother "nearly" finished a quilt, so for Christmas, I helped it along a little and finished it up..hopefully doing it justice.
It is entirely hand quilted and full of fun scrap fabrics.
I also made a scrap fabric journal for my sister-in-law and sister, these photo's are before I attached the buttons, but you get the picture...
You can see the tutorial here from Happy Together.
(She's a craft genius BTW)
This is coincidentally the fabric that I used to make
her a quilt last year for Christmas.
And then, my favorite little craft of the year....
a little piece of my heart.
When my grandmother died the week before Christmas,
I had to quickly fly out for the Memorial Service.
For the first time, I had to leave my
little Lily behind...sniffle sniffle.
That day, I quickly went to my sewing machine
and sewed her this little heart.
I then stitched it up with red embroidery thread.
Right before I left,
I gave it to her and told her to
hold onto my heart because
I'm coming back for it...
Thanks

OH that is so cute! I have not been away from my son and that would be such a great idea if I ever had to be. I am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite band sings a song called Little Lily. Love it!
