Onesies

When I was a Girl Scout leader 

I had a Brownie scout who would cheerfully come to each meetings 

and immediately want to know 

"What's the craft today?" 

She is still a friend of my daughter

and came to her shower last Sunday.

 She was thrilled to see we had a craft project planned! 

One of the hostesses bought onesies in a variety of sizes

 And the guests were asked to decorate them for the new baby.

 Being the control freak that I am,

 I volunteered to find the fabric 

And make some templates for ideas. 

 I got a layer cake of "Twirl" designed by Me and My Sister. 

It's really fun fabric.

 I chose the pieces that I thought would work best,

  used only half of the 10 inch square, 

and fused Wonder Under to the wrong side.

I chose a lot of pink, yellow and green.

 It was interesting how many of the 27 women's present,

both young and old,

 didn't know about fusible applique. 

So we had a couple of mini lessons 

And off they went.

 It turned out to be a fun and cute project.

 It gave everyone a chance to do something 

and visit, and laugh and create. 

My original intent was to stitch around the appliqués

to secure them better, 

But I think they'll be fine just the way they are.

 She might be graduating from college by the

time I finished.

 Now back to the fabric. 

 Remember I used only half of the layer cake. 

 I picked up this Schnibbles pattern and

 thought "Perfect".

  It should be cute using Twirl.

I know I will get this done sooner,

than if I had to stitch around the appliques.

 Until Next Time-
