keeping my promise...

On Wednesday afternoon, my granddaughter (aka) quilting buddy Mickey called on the telephone to see if she could come to sew with me! Now *sewing with me* is not really required, but totally loved by me and enjoyed by both of us! Of course I said yes without hesitation, because (1) I love it and (2) I know she is needing to finish up commissioned baby quilt #6 by August!

Unfortunately Mickey came without her camera, I suggested I would take pictures with my camera (we like to document progress) and she could pull copies from my camera. She asked me to post to my blog for her, because she just is struggling with the time to keep her blog up to date! WITH PRIDE I show you Mickey's progress to date!

(on the design wall, oh yes it is for a *baby boy* as per the technician ☺)

(closeup of the borders...please enlarge to see the borders...I love her choice of the blue stripe for one border)

(don't you love the smile, this was when I told her "i just love this quilt and particularly the border choice")

(practice of the alphabet letters, each block will have an alphabet letter in the center, she will use the color carmel for the letters ~ red is just because she wanted to save her carmel for the real deal)


I know you have all heard it from me before but this young quilter really knocks my socks off with her ability, color choices and lack of fear for trying something new! I am just so proud of her, and love having her as my granddaughter/quilting buddy!

(edit ~ please take a look at the new project that Mickey has posted to her own blog...how cute and so much her)

How wonderful to have a granddaughter who wants to sew with you! I hope Natalie will be that way when she is older.

The quilt is beautiful; she really does have the knack for color. She's very talented!
