letters....

I am taking an online class.
Letter Love 101...and I LOVE it.
Joanne Sharpe is the teacher, this is a link (click here) to her blog.
I adore her stuff.


for practice, she has us use a composition notebook


Crispy had one from 8th grade science.
It has been in a cupboard for 4 years....
waiting for me to find a new use for it.


he hardly used any of the pages


so I am, for practice


Over the years I have collected pens for scrapbooking. This is a good way to go though them and find out which ones are good yet...and which ones are dry and no good.

On to sewing....

The blue baby quilt is still not done!


I had a border on it and went to cut backing and batting.
I needed to piece everything. 
I wasn't very careful and ended up making it too SMALL.
Dang.
Then I quit working on it and everything just sat here.


Sometimes things work out...
The next think I knew, it was February and baby boy was born.

And of course he got a name.


Now I am kinda glad I didn't add more fabric to the backing and get it done before he was born. 
His name will make the backing bigger. My lettering class came into play here.
I stuck blue on the inside of the letters.
Yes, it is all working out the way it should.
