The next project I would like to share is my 4 1/2 year old Granddaughters quilt.
My daughter redid her room and it is pink!!
So I had my daughter come to the house to pick fabrics and this is what she chose.
All but the red/aqua floral are Bloom and Bliss from Riley Blake Designs.
I still piece and quilt by hand. So here in pictures is the progression from start to finish.
Sets of two become blocks.
Blocks get laid out in a pleasing pattern.
Basting, worst job on the planet!!
The part I love the best, Hand Quilting!!
A finish!
She also chose Bloom and Bliss for the backing.
And I am going to leave you with this...
My father was a newspaper man. He printed and sold TV guides to newspapers. When they were at the end of a run he would frequently print coloring books for us to take to school. The nuns would be thrilled and as a little girl I was so proud. They would ask him to stay and read a book. He would always read Green Eggs and Ham.
When a picture of this mug was posted on Instagram I knew I wanted to own it. Thank you sweet IG friend for helping me find the mug and giving me these memories.
You can get the mug HERE
