I post all my sewing/knitting projects on Friday on Instagram. It's my wrap up for the week instead of posting daily, semi-daily, bi-daily. Whatever!
I found a great panel on the Dancing Stitches website. It's a lovely quilt shop up in Cambridge.
I'll give you the
link to the store. It is distributed by Northcott Fabrics. The fox sold me on this one.
I used Champagne for the quilting on the growth chart with OMNI 3009 thread. Two passes and it was done. I opted to do this one lengthwise and as I stitched it out it reminded me of all those bubbles we blew through the wands over the years. Some things never grow old.
So how do you hang a growth chart? Well, I went to my local Home Hardware store and bought a yard stick. I had the farmer cut it to 16" in length and then drill a hole through the one end, same distance out, as the other end. I must admit I had thought of dowelling but then I would need to buy hooks and you know the list would go on and on. This way they can just put two nails in the wall and go for it.
I love the bibs. These are "dress-up" bibs for special occasions, like going to Great-Grandma's house. I used Velcro for the closures instead of snaps because I really couldn't find anything online I could use.
The final two burb cloths. I am done. All is ready for the new little one and hopefully by the time you read this the parcel has arrived at it's destination.
