The first thing I made for my soon-to-be great granddaughter was this sweater. I was testing out the yarn that I picked for the baby blanket I wanted to make. It is a 6-month size so seems large but I know babies grow fast.
The baby shower gift also included a Burrito Baby Wrap, a Winnie the Pooh cross stitch, and a couple of cute outfits.

This card was made from scraps. I’ve been focused on some scrap projects and different ways to use the scraps. This one was four squares made up of several long and thin pieces of fabric and then stitched together. It went together easily but it didn’t use up many of the scraps from my various bins of scraps.

I am so lucky that Roberta and Jackie chose to come to Powell River to celebrate their 75th birthdays.
These cards were a free stitch-along I found online. About a week after the pattern was released they included a second bird in alternate colours. I tried a different method of putting the cards together but I’m not happy with it so will keep experimenting.
A bar of Powell River soap was included with each of their cards.

I sent Alex a book earlier this summer so thought a bookmark card would be appropriate. As well, Alex has started his first year at the University of Regina.
I was curious to see if this was an actual quote from JFK and it is. In February, 1961 he made this comment during a special message to Congress on education.
