There was a time when I use to sew….a lot! Not anymore, now once in a while, I do some easy straight stitch stuff like pillows or curtains! I love what I see other’s doing…..quilting, free stitching, hand stitching, cute stuff.
Occasionally, I think I should join in, actually…….it seems I have!
I’ve jumped in with both feet. I am making a book with fabric….that not only requires sewing but quilting, free stitching, hand stitching, and if I say so myself, cute stuff.
I can tell you I love the end product…..it’s the process I’m not so sure about!
The cover of Lucy’s book, she turns two the end of April….I think she’ll like this.
The first two pages….one is a color teaching tool and the other side is all about numbers.
This little cutie is Lucy…the hat’s on the right have Velcro on the back so little finger’s can remove them and put them on top of Lucy’s head….like this….
There is still much to be done. I need to sew the pages together and two pages are yet to be designed and made.
I think Lucy will like the book and that’s what counts. I think Grandma has had more than a little fun making, too……..even tho’ she won’t stop grumbling about how much she doesn’t like to sew.

This is really an excellent book for a lovely little girl! How many hats does Grandma wear???
What an adorable book, and a super concept. I especially like the concept of the hats. Very nicely done. So now you can stop grumbling (GRIN).
OMG...what a gorgeous hand crafted book!!! So sweet and fun! She will LOVE it. Keep sewing!!! I am like you too...I hate machine sewing...but hand sewing is good, though, right??? You sure make it fun!!!
so cute!! I especially love the hat tree...a great idea. Colors & counting will be terrific practice. My two-yr-old granddaughter pretends to count: "one, two, free, fo, nineteen!" isn't that a hoot?
What a beautiful book! I love it, and I'm sure Lucy will too. (Love her name, by the way). What a nice Grandma you are! :)
