Grandbaby number 4 has
a "due date" 5 weeks from now!
And at our place these days,
It is all about celebrating
Little House on the Prairie's
50th anniversary!
I found these great panels on Etsy
and decided they were perfect
for quilt centers and my Apron!
I added this wonderful
bluebonnet background fabric
to make it all like truly applique!
Whilst I absolutely loved the outcome---Alas,
I realized after all that work,
it would not go with the 9 patch blocks I created.
So I set it aside for the next project,
and started over...
Alas, I got so in to the process,
No pics of my progress.
Now I had a complimentary set
of blocks and was ready to create my topper...
With tone on tone
Little House fabrics,
I used in-the-hoop
embroidery quilting to
create heart design blocks...
I surrounded my prairie
girl in a true
"Little House on the Prairie" print.
Next, I surrounded it
with the nine patches
and "heart" blocks.
close-up:
I trimmed outer border to 4 inch,
created a quilt binding...
and began to sew in place.
Binding sewn to front of quilt...
ironed taught and
clipped in place to the back
of the quilt to stitch in place.
and here she is...
ready for grand baby number four
due this April!
Mary Ruth was born on April 19, 2024.
After a few days in NICU...
she was welcomed home
and surrounding with a
chaotic family full of love!
