May Challenge Day Seventeen

Well, what a Thursday! I should not ask my 2 year old what she wants to do each day...this is what I might end up with...


I can't believe she wanted to do this or had the patience to sit with me and actually do the sewing on the machine! What you can see here is her work. She was so excited to do it and was sewing for a fair while, then she fell asleep with her foot on the pedal...eek!!! Thankfully I was right there with her and noticed her head start to flop a little, so what could have been a major disaster was avoided. But otherwise I think she did pretty well. She picked out the fabrics and helped to arrange them (mini me!) and like I said she was sewing at the machine. I was actually a little relieved when she fell asleep because it was time to get dinner ready but she hadn't wanted to stop. Oh well, maybe we'll do the rest of the top tomorrow, there are only 2 seems to go...




Now for a photo of my quilt (this one's for you, Beth). It's going to take a long time to get through all the applique, but hopefully it'll be done in the not-to-distant-future.



Anyway, I'm trying to get to bed a little earlier than usual so I'll see how we go tomorrow and let you know of any progress on either project in tomorrows post! Night!!

  1. Oh Manda, that is so cute! She is even more like you than I realised! Maybe you passed on your crafty genes on to her... What are you planning to do about quilting it? Show her how to do it on the machine too?
    Thanks for the pics!

  2. On your quilt, is it a strip of flowers at the foot of the bed? And is it on an existing quilt cover? Or are you making a quilted quilt from scratch?

    1. Hey Beth!

      Yeah, the flowers are on what will be the center panel on a quilt that I'm making. I've designed it, so hopefully it will look ok when it's finished...
