You can go on sewing....

Okay, I don't know how many of you remember the sermon at your wedding, but I surely remember the one at our wedding. Bless his heart, the Pastor wanted to emphasis that, though we were coming together as one, we were to maintain our individual personalities. Shortly before the ceremony the Pastor asked Wally what some of my hobbies were... and W told him I liked to bake and sew. (True.) So, without considering how totally chauvinistic it would sound said, in the sermon.. "W, you go on hunting and fishing and C, you go on baking and sewing!"

Oh OUCH! Was he serious???

Well, I guess I have taken his advice...

I decided it was time to get into my sewing room.

I saw some cute burp cloths on the internet and gave them a try.

I sewed cute flannel down the center of a purchased cloth diaper and added trim.

And, since there were sooo many cute flannel patterns, I just kept going!

Actually, they will make great baby gifts and I know a good number of young gals currently expecting...

But, I didn't stop with burp cloths..

I decided it would be nice for grandma to make some PINK blankets.

Hm... wonder why.

They sell the most wonderfully soft fabric that makes such cuddly blankets!

I backed two pink ones with soft minky fabric and the others with a silky satin.

Oh, I just could cuddle right into them myself!


This chocolate brown minky fabric has a swirl design in the nap and I love the paisley pattern in the silky satin.

These dots, in pink, chocolate brown and sage, are adorable too.

The satin patterns worked for both the pink minky fabric and the chocolate brown minky fabric, so I made one of each.

Pink on pink.

Did I mention it's PINK?

Can't wait until the end of September...
