Here's a little quilted coat I made last night for Daisy Mae the nightmare dog. The quilting gets lost in the fur, but it's there. I think she looks verry stylish!

Unfortunately, she wasn't too happy about modeling.

What an adorable little coat!! I can appreciate Daisy Mae's point of view. Don't like my pic taken either. LOL

You also sent a terrific swap. Glad your in the secret pal swap with all of us.Lori husband ear is when they never hear a word their wife says. My husband has it really bad.Only thing that helps is a big ole frypan lol.Carrot I love the list for going to the waiting bench.lolLeiladylei I think that purple fabric is mine. If you would just send it on to me,I would appreciate it. Mary

Mary you are so amazing. Thank you for the advice, it is perfect. I'm so glad I asked you. I don't think that I would have thought of doing that myself. I think that the first lesson will be picking out a pattern and going through Nana's stash for fabric. Watching me cut fabric on my GO cutter and using the rotary cutter and ruler. And she will be in charge of stacking the pieces in neat piles. All the while explaining different aspects of fabric, like bias, selvege, ect. The different tools that we are using. Discussing safety. Maybe a little bit about colors. I'll go over different parts of the sewing machine. Then maybe her first lesson with the sewing machine like you said. I also think that I will put together a little hand work kit and teach her about basic hand sewing. I'll have her use a large dull type needle, like a darning needle. I'll cut up some large squares for her to put together. I'll talk to my daughter about this first and make sure that she is willing to supervisor when she wants to work on it, like while watching tv. What do you think?

She was at our this this afternoon, we went out to lunch and then she went to her appt she told the Doc that her hand have been going numb. The Doctor has been montioring her and baby twice a week and they have been talking about inducing her. The Doctor told her the baby has no more room to grow, so they are going to go ahead and induce, so she in now in the hospital and will induce in the morning. The baby is probably around 5 lbs. right now.

Hope mom and baby do well.

This was a verrrry old kit that I bought from somewhere, sometime. It is called Snowman and the design is by Rachel T Pellman, Rachel's of Greenfield. OK, I just found this on the directions.......Copyright 1999 (told you it was old), Rachel's of Greenfield, 76 Greenfield Road, Lancaster, PA 17602

I did the original and the challenge one at the same time - figured since I was doing one, I might as well do two.
