Sewing Weekend

Grandma Jackie came to visit for the weekend and we spent it sewing. 

The first part of the weekend, she and Mom worked on the Mystery Quilt that had been done on their recent Quilt Retreat at Sea cruise.  They didn't have time to work on the project because they were on the cruise to work and make sure everyone was taken care of.  So, they worked hard this weekend to finish the quilt top.  Now, they just need to add the back and bind it.

This is Michelle's finished product.

On Sunday afternoon, the kids came home and they had time with Grandma making their own pillowcases.  They had picked out their own fabric at the store.  Marshel was easy - he picked two fabrics in about 5 minutes and was done.  His is the Chevron pattern with WW2 planes at the top.

Rachel jumped around to a bunch of different fabrics, but ultimately decided on an orange pattern with a pink border.  Very cute!  She made one to fit her body pillow.

Kellee, always one to be different, spent a lot of time picking out her fabrics.  She ultimately had about 10 bolts of fabric to choose from and could not decide.  Finally, after what seemed like hours, she picked a hot pink fabric with black cats (not Halloweeny). 

It was a good weekend and the kids are enjoying sleeping on their new pillowcases.
