This is a Pink Post with a Smile.

Reporting in on Operation "Move It" Monday.....  this is where I Post my progress on what it takes to get an old sewing project out of the Bag and on to the Bed.
It all started Here

 

This  is my FIG in a bag.

Project # 2

FIG= Fabric In Gestation and has been in a bag for longer than I care to admit.

 

This quilt is for my Granddaughter, Addilyn.

 

She was so sweet when she saw it on the arm of the chair.

She said, 

"Nanny who is that for?"

I said, " It is for you, but it is not finished yet."

I opened it up and showed her then folded it back up .

Later I was feeding her little brother in another room

and she came in the room

 with the quilt all wrapped around her

with a sweet little proud grin.

 Walking in like the queen.

When I told her she couldn't play with it until it was finished.

She said," Can we finish it today".

I tried to tell her that it couldn't be finished in one day.

But she always came back with a time later in the day.

"Can we finish it after we pick up Emmy"

 

"Sorry honey it will take more time "

 

Such a disappointment.

 

"I will finish it, but not today."

 

She was totally bummed!

 

 

 

 

This quilt reflects my love affair with the churn dash block.

 

It went into the bag because I needed time to think.

 

I wanted to add some words but I wasn't sure what words.

 

 

 

 

 

And so the thinking has come to this.

 

 

I have one word on  and working on the second.

 

I think I will like it........

 

but not exactly sure right now.

 

It is the beginning of the doubting stage because I can't see the end.

I am making it up as I go and that is risky.

 

And soooooo..... today the applique continues

 

Trying to learn needle turn applique and it is

slow going.  If you like to do needle turn applique I salute you.

 

 

 

 

I love Pink Yes I do!

 

Too many girls here to not like pink.

 

Miss Emerson, my little first grader, and...

The tale of the missing teeth.

She couldn't be prouder!

We have been patiently waiting for this toothless grin.

The tooth fairy has been good to her.

 

And on the home decorating front...

 

 

 Taking this from

 

BLAH..... 

 

 

To Beautiful :)

Just need a little courage to push the pink button.

If I do it then I probably need to paint the end table white or grey.

And that is another project all for a little bit of pink!

 

Decisions...... Decisions.....

 

 

 

I can see buds on the flowering almond bush

 

More pink coming soon!
