I am proud to announce that I have completed my first sewing project! When I was in middle school my mom tried to encourage me to sew, I did try but never actually finished a project.
A few weeks ago, my mother in law gave us Chris' old baby blanket that he obviously dragged around with him. Each corner was torn and it definitely needed some repairing. So I thought that it would be great if I repaired it and gave it to our son from Bulgaria. It is little (great for a crib or toddler bed), but it need a ton of work. Thankfully, my mom was visiting for the weekend and helped me. We had to buy filling for the quilt and some fabrics to replace the ones that were torn and thinning from age.
Needless to say I finally finished it today, and it actually looks pretty good. Thanks mom for helping me. We had to do it by hand as we had no sewing machine so it was a labor of love. Next week I will begin on getting the guest room ready for our oldest so we can move her in there this summer and get our son's room ready for him.
Wish I had more news for you about our adoption, but I don't. Praying and planning for him.

What a great gift! I'm sure your son will soon love and cherish it. I can appreciate the love and time that must have gone into it as I don't sew either. We will continue to pray for your journey - maybe our sons are together right now playing!

That is so special! Could you post a picture of the quilt? Can't wait to hear more news of your adoption. We'll have to get together when school is out.
