Taking it for a Test Drive

I am working on a longer-term sewing project: a twin bed-sized quilt. It is made up of ALL the cotton prints I have on hand, including a lot of old clothing scraps. My sons' blankies, my college bed sheet, my hubby's old robe - lots of memories. Plus, I am randomly sprinkling in squares with embroidered pictures. Nothing too girly, because my younger son asked me to keep it "unisex" (in case he calls dibs on it in the future I think. He is a sentimental one!)

But as you can see, someone else is calling dibs on it already, before the squares are even all sewed together.

Way cute picture! I love to sew. My grandma gave me her very old sewing machine, because I love it so much. We just don't have any where to put it yet, with living with the in-laws. When I was little I made a quilt all out of demin from old jeans we had, I embroidered pictures and most of the pieces. It turned out really cool and it was so warm.

It's a great time to start this project, it'll be fun to do over the winter. Keep up posted with picts.
