After having 3 of the grandkids here for a few days, we're back to our usual routines - golf for grandpa and sewing for grandma. Pretty predictable aren't we?
The boys fished every day, sometimes twice. LOL And they played golf.
Olivia sewed with me Sunday and Monday. Her very first sewing project was her pillowcase, and then she began working on a table runner. She sewed it and she quilted it herself, but I did do the binding for her. She did a really good job on all of it. My daughter said when the grandpa dropped the kids off at home she put her pillowcase on her pillow, and the table runner on her nightstand. So I think she was pleased.
The final project Olivia worked on was a doll quilt. The flimsy is all done, including the borders. So I'll find something for backing and binding and then this one will go into the donation box with a stuffie.
Did the boys catch fish and bring it home for you to cook? Cute runner with the watermelon, I am sure she is going to want to come sew with Gma again:)
ReplyDeleteNice project! They had a good time at your house!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to having a sewing companion! Love that she worked on a donation quilt too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a super great time .Olivia is the smartest of all tho - she got you to do the binding hahahaha!!!
ReplyDeletePassig the knowledge, a worthy cause. Now your GD knows how to quilt, AND how to donate. Job well done Grammy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea to include a stuffie with the doll quilt. Several years ago I took some quilts to Lake Lure after the devastation from Hurricane Helene. Once woman included a bunny with her quilt. It brought tears to my eyes!
ReplyDeleteWe all need a break from what we love doing. It sounds like you had some fun days together with your grandkids. New quilter in the family? She did a great job on the table runner, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the grandkids and the grandparents had a busy weekend. But it is nice to get a break from the routine.
