Sewing with Trinity

Arriving from Colorado for the holidays, Sarah brought a project for me to work on as a very special Christmas gift.

Trinity wanted for my help in making a baby blanket for Kate.

Her mama ordered the fabric and brought it with her, but Trin and I bought the backing fabric here in Lafayette at JoAnn's.

We worked on Kate's blanket late at night after the little cousins had gone down for the night.

But, once or twice we had to sew while the smaller cousins were up.

 Julie was very persistent in wanting to help us.

 We all got the giggles over the "extra help."

It was so worth it to watch Trinity on Christmas morning when Cole "helped" Kate open her gift.

 It was a very big moment for Trinity.

 I love the expression on her face - the joy of gift giving!

Later, she helped Kate out her new blanket and cuddle on the couch.

Christmas Table Runners

I found some wonderful fabric online (fabric.com - my favorite sewing web site) and asked if anyone wanted a table runner for Christmas.

Ashley and Vanessa both said that they did.

I love this fabric and wish I had bought more of it. Sadly, it is sold out.

I also had two yards of this fabric - perfect for table runners, too!

The Quad's Christmas Pillowcases

I had twelve different fabric choices for the moms to choose for their kiddos Christmas pillowcases. Jessie chose my absolute favorite for Cambria's!

 Cambria's.

 Titan's. (I am making his set early because he is old enough to notice and want what his sister has.)

Julie loved this fabric. I think it fits her sweet personality.

I love this polar bear fabric in green! This is what I used for Ian.

These were for for Drew and Annalee Thomas.

The Quads' Thanksgiving Pillowcases

Well, more than the quads - Jessica has asked that I make one for Titan, too, so his is included here, too.

 Titan's is on top, and Cambria's on the bottom.

 Julie's.

 Whitney's.

 Ian's. (His matches JC's.)

As a bonus, I made table runners for Sarah, Vanessa, Lisa, Ashley, and me from this beautiful fabric. And, I made pillowcases from the same fabric as Ian's and Whitney's for Drew and Annalee Thomas.

Titan's Halloween Pillowcase

Jessica told me that Titan now uses a pillow and would want a pillowcase when I sent Cambria's. I ordered some more fabric and sent this picture to Jessica so she could choose.

She chose the fabric on the upper left.

The Quads' Halloween Pillowcases

I made these for Julie, Cambria, and Ian. (Whitney got hers when her siblings did.)

Julie is getting the purple one, and Ian and Cambria the two grey ones. The other two will be sent to Drew and Annalie Thomas.

Halloween Tablecloth

For some reason, I never made myself a Halloween tablecloth. I rectified that today!

 It says, "Happy Halloween." I love the cider color.
