My Thank You is to Melissa and Jaimie. A few weeks ago, I casually asked if anyone had hand-me-downs that they would part with for Owen. I am happy to say that I have been blessed with a great supply of super cute clothes for my little man :)
These piles represent about a third of what I received from these beautiful ladies, the rest are waiting for Owen's legs to get a bit longer :) Thank you both! I am so thankful for and blessed by you both!
This is the cut pieces for my project. A friend asked if she could purchase 35 of my quilted bookmark after seeing it posted here. Get this - she is in the midst of planning a quilt themed retreat for her church ladies, next month! I wish we lived closer :) Each lady will receive a quilted bookmark at the end of the retreat. So the top row represents the yo-yo flowers, then below is the stem and front. I need to find a backing fabric today. . .if the rain lets up. So that's what I'm working on! Getting everything cut and with interfacing is usually the most challenging so I am looking forward to smooth sewing all week.
Now to go see what you have been working on - Happy Monday!

Love the sharing of the clothes...kids are in and out of them so quickly at his age, makes sense to share. I have some of the fabric that you are using to make your bookmarks. It looks really pretty used this way...so until now I hadn't thought to make a quilted bookmark, what can I say? LOL, love what you have created here. WOW! You have a lot of those to make for your friend.
you're welcome! glad to pass the clothes on. i love the bookmark fabrics. and oh how i wish i could attend a quilt themed retreat. someday!
Congratulations on your order Amy! What a blessing your two friends are to send all those clothes! They are so generous!
