And Life Goes on.....

It's been a long time since I last posted, and a lot has gone on in my life.

  • My youngest got married....
  • I'm anticipating retirement in the next year or so..
  • Assisting a family member in their TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) recovery
    • Praise God!  Their recovery has been a miracle! 
  • Teaching quilting classes, which I love! 
  • Welcoming 4 grand-kids into the family
    •  3 boys (including a set of identical twin boys!)
    • and FINALLY a 2nd little girl! (Time to pull out the smocking and heirloom sewing again)
I am now a grandparent to 5!  
 
I've been seriously honing my sewing skills (garment and quilting).  Now that JoAnn's Fabric is gone, I've had to focus on my fabric stash, which is a good thing.
 
I've been spending the last couple of weeks with the newest grandchild.  I made a stop at a couple of quilt shops for fabric.  I found a couple of pieces that would make excellent yoked dresses for my little one. This is the Bernatex Robo Boogie Line: 
 
Bernatex: Robo Boogie Grass Field Day
     

Bernatex: Robo Boogie Light Lime Triangles

 

     My plan is to make a romper and dress using Chery Williams Basic Square Yoke Dress Pattern. 
 
 
 
I may include some smocking in the yoke (gotta go thru my smocking patterns first).  
 
I can't wait to get started!
 
Happy Sewing!
