This last week has been beautiful. The temp has been in the 70’s and low 80’s with rain storms the last 2 nights. I was able to get out and work in the front flowerbed for the first time this year. (I had foot surgery and then hubby was in the hospital ant then too hot.Now perfect).
This week I have started a baby quilt for my Nephew and Niece’s new baby. He arrived on the 13th. All I knew is their theme for the nursery was “wild and free” . They live in Texas and both are outdoors people, who live and work a ranch. Michael(nephew) is a true cowboy and loves the work. Sarah(his wife) is right there with him sooooooooooooooo as I was looking thru the fabric stash this is what I came up with.

Then started playing with what I wanted each step to look like. Hubby gave me his input and this is what I finally decided on.

As I look at this I think I will change the small inner corner from gold to blue.
Once I finish this I will be working on some Christmas gifts. I have 2 granddaughters who now have their own homes and it will be fun to make them some house hold items for their new places.
Do you make any Christmas , or whatever your Holiday is, gifts?
How many?
Any favorite items?
For a long time I made sleep pants for each family. May have to start that up again….we will see.
Happy August all.
I try to make most of my gifts: something for each of the girls, a new wool shirt and socks for DH and ornaments for the piano students.
