TGIFF~Quilt For A Sweet Little Girl


Sometimes you can't change things. I met a little girl who's 3, who is being adopted by her great-grandmother, who's 70. I wish I could sweep her up and bring her to live with me, but it's not possible. I felt inspired to make her something, to let her know that she is loved...but truly, I feel pretty hopeless about her situation.
 




















 This will be shipping to her with some books. Trying to do something, and feeling quite helpless about it all.

I Quilt~Like A Chicken!

I'm a chicken. I'm afraid of free motion on my home machine so I quilt 1/4" off the seam. On this quilt it looks pretty good:




















I'm also enjoying quilt-as-you-go projects. This will be a set of 6 placemats, from a pattern inspired by Cori George of Let's Eat Grandpa  http://letseatgrandpa.com/



That's about it for this week!
