A Finished Top and Weekly Goals

      I'm back this week to my regular sewing/quilting room and have projects that I want to accomplish. Last week of Grandma Camp time was fun and I have some things to share. GDs are sweet young ladies.

How I did on last week's goals:

1. Finish piecing the split nine patch top. Done. Sunday evening I added a simple border and looked for backing. We really want this finished by next Sunday to give as a gift at a wedding shower after church.


2. Work on projects with granddaughters. Done. Many projects were worked on and GD Mattie had a lot of driving practice. Early in the week the girls worked with some discharge paste on black tank tops.

GD Lily sewed the first 6 rows into one piece.

GD Mattie tried repairing a gauze shoulder bag and then added a lining instead. This grandma's heart was happy when she said she had decided she liked sewing again.

They each modeled a dino character out of air dry clay. They need to dry more before painting.


We also had time for baking together.  It was a wonderful week of family time.
