I'm always inspired by crafty people who can build/sew/stencil/paint/stamp and all sorts of things. Not every project turns out the way it's supposed to, but I always wanted to know how something worked so I gave it a good try anyway. When I was little, I was so inspired by reading all of the "Little House" books, I begged my mom to teach me to sew. As a home economics teacher, my mom is a whiz in everything crafty, and we whipped up a lovely little dress. It was adorable!
I still love to sew and many friends have asked me to hem pants for them or fix buttons, rips and tears. I even made a quilt for my nephew when he was born. I'm not sure how much he used it, but I hope his mom and dad enjoyed it!
The back side is a fuzzy chenille and the white patches that say "I love Mommy" and "I love Daddy" are flannel for some interesting texture differences. |

The vine wreath should be familiar! I took off the St. Patrick's Day shamrocks and added rosettes. |
Here is an up-close look at the rosettes. The white/green/blue fabric was leftover from the quilt above! |
