Good morning!
I'm sure you recall that I was on-line very little in February.
As you know, we've been doing a bit of freshening up/remodeling in our family room.
This has entailed my refinishing of our brick fireplace with a six step finishing process, painting walls, and sewing curtains. Then, hubby and I hung new rods and new curtains (after he replaced windows!). We also ripped up old carpeting, pad, and staples, and replaced with a pretty soft, plush
carpet.
Here's a little something else that I was working on during that time!
Our daughter is very close to her due date with baby number three. We know it's a boy,
but as with the other babies, we will be surprised with his name, after he is born, so
for now, mom, dad, and kids are calling the new baby 'Captain America'.
Each time there's a grandbaby born, grandma makes a baby quilt.
What better than a Captain America theme?

Here is the top before finishing. I'm including this photo only because I took all of the finished photos upside down, and they look wonky if I rotate them to right side up!!! lol... only an excited grandma would do something silly like that, right?
This (upside down) photo shows the soft, fluffy binding, which is also what the backing is made of. I always hand tie at each corner or point.
For whatever reason, my computer won't let me remove just one of these two photos. Sorry! You get to see one more partial picture!
Click on any of the pics to see a bit larger photo, if you wish! |
Anyway, just thought I'd share with you what I've been working on!
I'll soon be in DC wearing my grandma hat for a month, and can't wait to see the family,
and meet the new baby boy!
Have a great day!
Thanks for dropping by to say hello!
