I have managed to sew a little bit, though. I'm making some maternity dresses for my daughter. She is expecting a boy in 6 weeks (my first grandson) and she is at the stage where she feels like nothing fits. She picked out Kwik Sew 3486. This is the first Kwik Sew pattern I've sewn and I have to say, I'm impressed. The fit is wonderful...straight out of the envelope. This may be my first review on Pattern Review, too.
This is my little helper...
The rest I'll probably do on my machine. We'll see. I think the first thing I'll start on is my Christmas raggy quilt. All that's left to do is that the squares have to be sewn together, snipped and laundered.
This is a quilt I pieced for my Aunt Nancy. Every year she comes to stay for a week or so and we piece a quilt. She already had everything cut out and kitted up. She usually lines up the block, I piece it, and she irons. It' s a pretty good set-up. She lives near an Amish community and she'll have them quilt it sometimes. She's also had some machine quilted since there's a lady in her quilt group who does that.
