I have not been doing a good job of keeping up with posts! Yikes! Lots to say about why, but let's just focus on this really good day that happened earlier this year. Another grandchild who chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Another quilt to help him remember this special day, made by me - grandma!
He wanted the main color to be the light aqua/teal color. It's very hard to find those colors that are more masculine. I bought several fabrics and brought them home. He said no to a couple of them. Then it was off to the fabric store again. I would pick out a few more patterns then take a picture and send to his mom so he could approve them before I bought them! They get so opinionated at about this age - 8!
I love the opportunity to make something that will help them remember the covenants they have made with their Father in Heaven and the desire to follow the example of Jesus and be baptized.
