Haila's Fox : :

Haila's Fox

This past week we had such a houseful, but on Saturday for just an hour or so, Haila and I found ourselves a little stretch of sewing time. A promise was made that we'd sew over Thanksgiving break, and this was our big chance!

First I asked her to choose from my pile of random quilt blocks what would be the center of a new quilted pillow. She opted for a little fabric fox appliqued onto a light gray PE solid. She's always loved my fox pillows and was thrilled for this chance to make one of her very own. She decided right away to surround little fox with pretty flowers, so that's what she did!

I really love this pillow - the colors, those sweet florals, and my girl's effortful stitching. It's always so fun watching her work, understanding each step with such delight, it's exciting to see!

Haila's Fox As long as she keep requesting these sewing sessions, I will happily oblige. It's a pleasure!

    1. Thank you Pat! I actually think about that whenever I am teaching Haila or even recently when I taught my friend how to make my herringbone qayg quilt. So often I create tutorials using the techniques I've most recently figured out, creating a project to showcase that new skill(s). But I do wish to one day start from a "sewing 101" place and organize my tutorials from beginner to advanced for those of you who ask and would benefit. Just hoping for the time, so in the meantime please feel free to email me questions anytime!
