I am hoping you all remember the old classic song
"Grace's Sewing Teacher Has A Farm...Ei, Ei Oh..."
You will need to sing along while you read this post...no? Okay. Hum? No?
Okay, then *I* will sing...WAIT! Don't leave! I am just kidding! I won't sing!
Fall sewing session began this afternoon and, as always Grace was thrilled. The kid loves to sew! And she is darned good too. I can brag about this as she did not get any of this talent from me. Right? Besides, I can barely thread a needle (I blame my 50 year old eyes for this! Not that my 21 year old eyes did any better!)) so imagine how proud I am of her! This is the quilt that Grace pieced over the Summer! It has now been quilted and she is tickled to pieces with it!
See how excited she is about it?
I can't decide...which flower is prettier? Ah yes, the one
on the bottom. The one with the huge smile...
Not a bad way to spend a few hours on a Fall afternoon...um...it
is still Summer right? But oh, it felt like Fall! Glorious!

I just wanted to dance with a sunflower and play ring around the flowers with Grace. What a great post.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Grace's quilt-what a talented girl she is! And those photos are stunning!! I also loved your list of things that make you smile-your blog is definitely one of the things that makes me smile!! xx
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so awesome Grace!! That's something she can keep forever too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of the field of sunflowers....I have been looking around for one myself!! They make such cute pictures
Those pictures are FAN-TABULOUS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your sunflowers! It is the time I think of sunflowers and red geraniums!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are just beautiful! You should definitely get a couple of those enlarged with a pretty frame!
ReplyDeleteTell Grace she did a BEAUTIFUL job on the quilt! So talented! I wish we lived closer to you guys so Lisa could take some sewing lessons with her (or FROM her!)
Oh, I LOVE that quilt! Grace is obviously a beautiful and talented young lady, and you should be very proud. Gorgeous fall pics, too!

You're telling me a CHILD made that quilt? Can you hear me sobbing in the background??? FINE! Tell Grace I said congratulations and it's beautiful and everything else and then tell her thank you so very much for adding to my woeful feelings of inadequacy! A CHILD made that? Really? Gosh...it's too much to bear. AND it's amazing. SHE'S amazing. We've got to get together SOON. It's time Grace got to meet her Aunt Kari so she'll know just what fabrics would be perfect for MY quilt. lol
ReplyDeleteI think yesterday was the prettiest day ever here in OH-IO...
ReplyDeleteHow proud she is...I would be too...I think if I did something like that I would be "attempting" cart-wheels...lol!!
:)
Tell Grace that she is a talented artist! Welcome to the quilting community Grace!

Here I am, a month shy of turning half a century old and have never made a quilt while this child has made one!!! hehe Beautiful job, Grace! And look at her with those sunflowers...gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! She's such a happy girl, always smiling:-) xox
ReplyDeleteI knew Miss Grace was a beauty, but I had no idea she had quilting talent, too! What a great job she did! I'm sure there are many more quilts in her future!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through my Dad's photography blog. I love that quilt she put together, it's just beautiful. And those photos of Grace and the sunflowers, they are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteDoes Grace take a bad picture? Just wonderin'. Great quilt! I love the colors. She should be quite proud.

What an accomplishment!! I'm impressed. The quilt is beautiful. Such vivid colors. Way to go, Grace!!
ReplyDeletewhat a glorious place! i wish everyone could be there for one afternoon in their lives!
ReplyDeleteGrace is indeed a talented young lady. What a very special quilt she has finished. I started sewing when I was only about 7 years old. I made doll clothes for my first efforts.
ReplyDeleteI hope she will always love to sew, and keep you and her family in special heirlooms for years to come. Go Grace!
