L is for....

Love or Liz or Lovin' Liz. This is for my niece's Valentine's Day gift. Hannah and I have picked out a few goodies to stuff in it. I hope she likes it! And, since Lizzie gets an appliqued bag, Hannah insists on an appliqued shirt. She looked and looked and looked for some fabric in my closet. Just wait to you see her shirt. It's going to be hysterical, but it's what Hannah wants so it's what Hannah will get.

With my new super-dooper serger, I made these 2 blankets in minutes. Bingham Memorial in Blackfoot, Idaho requested some blankets to be included in their donation of bereavement items. I whipped these blankets out in no time. My flannel wasn't washed or I would have made more. Note to self: the second fabric comes into the house....WASH IT!!

Next up...Hannah's H shirt, Austin's carseat cover, Austin's curtains, intermixed with some bereavement gowns. I'm BBBAAACCCKKK!!! :-)

For Emily

My friend's daughter Emily is having brain surgery on Feb 4th. I made this the simple tote from Bend-the-Rules Sewing & will fill it full of girly things for her to enjoy while she recuperates.

Emily and her twin brother were born at 26 weeks gestation. She has chiari malformation which basically means that her cerebellum and brain stem are pushing down into her spinal column causing the spinal fluid not to flow properly. I think I got that right. She's been having debilitating episodes for quite some time now. We pray that the decompression surgery will eliminate them.
