Rag Quilts and Memories...

I made quite a few gifts this Christmas and had them all wrapped before I realized that I hadn't taken any pictures!  My daughter-in -law Amanda was kind enough to have snapped this one!  It's a picture of the Rag Quilt that I gave to my granddaughter Makenna for Christmas.  It didn't come sewn together though...

I had made a sewing bag for her in coordinating fabric, lots of purple and Minnie Mouse on the front, of course!  I placed within it a heart shaped pin cushion that I made from the pink check print, as well as a matching sewing purse filled with a spool of thread and a bobbin.  Also tucked inside were 25 flannel "sandwiches" tied up with a ribbon.

Whenever we could, Makenna and I would spend time together in the Sewing Room.

She would snuggle up on my lap, we would thread the machine,

and then... we were off and running, sewing those rag quilt sandwiches together!

This was our VERY FIRST REAL sewing project together...
Sew Much Fun and wonderful memories!
