I finished Molly's quilt, last week actually, but I have pictures now.
I loved this fabric so much!
Last weekend, while we were at the Apple Festival, Laura and I found a lady selling the cutest beanbags...
Visions of the boxes of fabric that I have been saving to do "something" with someday came to mind.
So. Laura bought the split peas, I cut out the fabric, and we have several new sets of the CUTEST beanbags for the little ones.
The most inspired project of Laura's visit was the result of Lucy's obsession with buttons.
I have a collection of buttons that I got from Grandma Hendry years ago. They are all very old and some of them are so neat! I just love looking through them from time to time.
Lucy sat down with the button box and just sorted and sifted and commented for hours! It was so cute!
So Laura was looking at them and she had the BEST idea! She took out the ones that she and Lucy loved the best, and she dug out some fabric and sewed those old buttons on.
Then she sewed them to backs and stuffed them with batting and now she has two of the NEATEST pillows.
A little bit of her heritage and a great thing for Lucy to sit and contemplate.I am tired, but what a neat send off for my dear ones...I can think about Molly sleeping with her quilt, the girls playing with their beanbags in their new house, and Lucy and Laura and their "Button" Pillows.
