Think About It

Sometimes it is not good to think about things, Just do them. Fear of the unknown is often unfounded.
My baby sister has talked to me several times lately regarding tags for her quilts. My sewing machine, (Janome 9000) will do embroidery. I was just unsure of the size she wanted, how elaborate she wanted it and if I could do it.
Yes I had to think about it.
Today I set up the machine, I took out my embroidery cards and began looking and looking. ( I am prone to do that, Just read and read to be accurate)
I began to think and dig out fabrics. I had some great satin (moire and smooth). I cut it out, attached stabilizer and began. I think they turned out pretty good, Not great as I do not see my work as great.
I see it as acceptable.
So with that I hope Jeanette likes these. I am sending more than is needed in case she wants to make more quilts . She has four grandchildren, so I am sure she does not need 6 patches. (Patches that say Grandma.)
Unless she wants to be grandma to more babies.
Hey you can borrow a few of mine, Only borrow though, I can not imagine my life without all thirteen, (13) yes I said , thirteen of them. Ten boys and three girls.
They fill my heart with joy just to see their faces. And when I cant see their faces, I can picture them as they were last time I saw them and it always brings a smile to my face.
