Keeping with my January theme of "clean it out, finish it or toss it.." I took the big box of flannel fabric and cut it all up into usable 6" squares and tossed the scraps. I just have to decide if I am going to make a raggedy edge quilt or the traditional kind for the 2 baby quilts I now have fabric for?!
We bought 4 new shelves for Bill's garage and so I decided to put them together.......Bling was a lot of help as usual! I got two done when they called to say they were just 20 minutes away!
We rushed over to their place to be the welcoming committee! Shared a meal and much conversation! Welcome to the south family!
Glad they made it safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see the flannels and have a little trip down memory lane -- I saw "history pieces" of Dad's work shirts, your nightgown, the matching pj pants Bruce & I sewed when we were dating/engaged, a doll nightgown, one that looked like a me-nightgown but I couldn't see for sure, and lots of others familiar from past digs through your fabric closet at the farmhouse. But you need some Big Greens fabric to make it complete!!!
I would definitely say do a raggedy edge quilt! Then the babies you're making it for can enjoy the "taggies."
ReplyDeleteI remember a cathedral window quilt my aunt did that had fabrics from all the different dresses my mom and aunt had made for us girls.

It was fun to remember each one.
A raggedy quilt in flannel! How warm and full of tags.
