Sewing with Sisters

I am the oldest in my family and so far, the only one who really sews much.  For many a year, I have felt like the ‘nerdy’ one of the bunch because of this.  However, two of my sisters are expecting baby boy’s in the next two months. {Wee! Two little babies to snuggle and smell that new-baby smell, and I won’t be responsible for any diapers or midnight feedings.  This is so exciting! Except for the fact that one will live in California and one will live in Brazil. 🙁 }

As a result of the maternal hormones and accompanying feelings of “nesting” both have been feeling more domestic.  And both asked to come to my house to sew baby burp cloths.  So when the California sister came to town, (the Brazil sister hasn’t moved yet) we pulled out a bunch of scraps and they went to town.  I merely supervised.

We also discussed baby quilts. I need to get crackin’ on these. Here is pile #1. We’ll be using Robot scraps (because scraps is all I’ve got left.)

This pile will go with the crib bumper we made a few months ago.

My Brazil sister returned again to make a nursing cover.  Love this orange trellis fabric.

Doesn’t she look swanky?

Once again, I merely supervised and she did a very fine job.  

Perhaps another domestic goddess in the making.
