A Gift




Here is my latest sewing project and what I consider my greatest accomplishment yet. I got the pattern from Moda Bake Shop and used a Moda Bliss jelly roll with a brown minky for the the backing. It is a quilted shawl for my 93 year old grandmother who just moved from her house to assisted living. She is giving me her 1956 Bernina Record sewing machine and so I wanted to make her something really special. This is my first project with binding. Thankfully my motherinlaw was able to help me learn how to do the binding and I actually made this in less than a week. Even though a little pricier than what I usually spend on fabric, the jelly roll was wonderful and made the project go even faster. I love Moda fabrics now!
