Project-ing

I've been re-working the flowers from the baby quilt debacle, adding thrifted ballet pink linen and trimmings from my mom's 40th anniversary linen dress ...




with the aim of collaborating on a project Don has underway ...


The end product, requested by Meg, is destined to be hung over Parker's crib ...


We'll keep you posted on progress. Not that I expect to get much done over the next few days as our younger daughter Meliss (seen here with our St Louis grands), is heading our way tomorrow ...


to meet her new niece ...


and go swimming with her nephew ...


Just in case there's a bit of free time, I'm bringing along the placket cloth which has progressed ...


And while I was hoping to follow directions in Jody Alexander's book The Boro Aesthetic to create a bag ...


I'm chronically incapable of following "recipes," so I started folding ...


and folding ...


and folding ...


Hmmmm, interesting ...


Or not. I'm never quite sure how things will turn out until I get there.
