My
mother is an amazing seamstress. And she single-handedly takes care of
all pajama needs for each of her seven grandchildren. You should see
these pjs! Or even better, all seven kids running around in
granny-made pjs. We all live within 20 minutes of each other, so this
does happen on occasion.
Anyhow, see that amazing dress up there? It was meant to be a granny-made nightgown, but one irresistible sash and couple of matching barrettes later and here it is -- a darling little dress. My mom called a couple of weeks ago, "Heather, I have this nightgown I'm making for Charlotte, but I think it might make an even-better dress. What do you think? Should I do it?"
Mom, you definitely made the right call. The dress is beautiful and Charlotte is tickled silly with it. Thank you.
I'm a bit behind on some press stuff too, so before these issues are completely unfindable, check out my designs in the pages of:
• Better Homes and Gardens August 2007, p. 68
(I think there are two different covers for this issue)
• Elegant Bride Spring 2007, pp. 186-193 -- Ooo, a Freshcut wedding!
(follow this link -- amazing photos!)
• Patchwork & Stitching Vol 7 No 9, pp.30-32
(Australian magazine - Megan Butel's Freshcut quilt made the cover)
Oh yes, and please send a warm "hello" and a big round of blog love to my mom -- this is her internet debut! : ) Love you mom.
