Whimsy Row by Row Quilt

Whimsy Row by Row Quilt

Edna sewed a beautiful quilt for granddaughter’s first birthday.  She used the Whimsy Row by Row quilt pattern by Fresh Water Designs for EE Schenck Co.

We bought the pattern and fabric at Sew Much Fun in Columbus, GA, and worked diligently to finish it in time for the party!

The fabric is called “Whimsy” and includes these inspirational quotes:

Take Time to Breathe!

Be Curious. Explore!

Create Whimsy in Your Life!

Find Joy in Living!

Wonder About Possibilities!

The colors are so fresh and delightful. I truly fell in love with the design and colors as we worked.  We used the swirl fabric on the back and a similar swirl pattern for quilting. Blue Crab Quilt Company in Richmond did the longarm quilting for us. They did a fantastic job – I am sure we will use them again soon.

Here is a close up of the front and back:

Iron-On Fun

While waiting for Granddaughter sEaMcRaZy, we had a Baby Shower Onesie Party! We used SarahSaysSew’s fun templates and decorated onesies, bibs, blankets, burp pads, and anything else we could find iron flat!

Many of our guests were not “crafty” but they soon found their inner sEaMcRaZiNeSs! SteamASeam made it very easy and the templates were cute and just perfect. Granddaughter sEaMcRaZy is modeling one of our creations – a bib decorated with hearts.

Fall & Fabric

It was a beautiful fall day today and a great day to go fabric shopping!  We enjoyed the sale at Joann’s, where so many things were 40-60% off.  We ended up with some flannel (60% off!!), fleece, thread, and more patterns. You know, you just can’t have tooooo many patterns.  On the way home, we stopped at Saladworks and picked up supper (Edna loves her some salad).  At home, we took it easy, checking emails and such, because tomorrow is SEWING SUNDAY and we have a few projects to work on.  I have plans to finish two projects and Edna has to finish up a tote bag that hangs on the back of the wheelchair.

It’s great to get out and visit a fabric store…but we always buy more than we anticipated and have a great time doing it.
