*** My Little Chinese Dream***: Almost Done!!!

Almost Done!!!

Last week we finished sewing the top of Channing's quilt together. R couldnt make it that night, so I twisted C arm to come and help!! B soon found out that C could sew......so she was planted at the sewing machine!!! She was in ahhhh all night!!!

B.......notice there is NO DRINKING on the job!!!

Me at the ironing board again!!!

Here it is!!! A very large quilt!! Actually it can be used as a quilt or a sleeping bag. There will be some snaps along the bottom and along the side so if Channing wants it as a sleeping bag then she will stay all tucked in!!!

Here is the boarder I chose!! Since the quilt has EVERY color, no pattern I decided to pick out a piece of fabric I like and this is what I chose!!! The backing on the quilt will be either lavendar minky or sage green minky.........which ever I can find first!!!!
