Reduce, reuse, and repair

They’re the three mottos I try to live by. 

After finishing the quilt top

I had a pile of scraps that were a good size for a practice scrappy quilt as you go

I didn’t have the backing on as I thought it might look way too messy   I quilted using a fancy stitch on the machine. 

It definitely hides a multitude of errors 

For the backing I looked through my fat quarters and found this cute pooh bear. 




I just placed the quilted square on it right side up and then folded over the edges,twice, as the binding 

I thought it would be easier than bagging out

It wasn’t 

But I do like the binding look better 

A placement for Ana to take home 

Meanwhile 
Ana is watching Gabbys Dollhouse. 

I told her if she needed me I’ll be in the sewing room 

I finished the binding on the machine 

She didn’t bat an eyelid. 

She’s growing up. 

In the past I had to be with her the whole day. 

But now she doesn’t care. 

I always tell her where I’ll be and what I’m doing and she’s fine. 

I did think she might of come in to see what I was doing while using the sewing machine, but no. 

I don’t know if I like this independent toddler. 

Even though it’s great she’s growing more confident. 

But for grandma it that first  step you take on the journey of separation. 

If I’m really lucky they will always want to spend time with grandma.
