hi, i'm gramma corinne. there was already a corinne, so i had to make a change. one of my grand-daughters asked me if i would make her a quilt about 10 months ago, naturally i said yes. due to illnss it has been poseponed. i'm ready to tackle it now, i think. but first i need to make her a baby boy one for matthew , who is due november 28. i have done almost every craft i've ever seen, at least once. i started sewing on my grammas' treadle machine at 3 or 4 hemming sugar sacks to make work-handkerchiefs for my granpa, and i've been sewing ever since. i love sewing, BUT, i have never made a quilt. any suggestions will be appreciated. this is great-grand #8, #9 due dec.5th. thank you for tolerating my long-windiness. i can't wait to get started.
