A Finish and a First

One Baby quilt Finished.
Hand quilted.
;)

The FIRST quilt for my new granddaughter-to-be!
Don't you like those scallops??
Me too.

I used embroidery floss to quilt.
It's a light green.
Mmmm.
So pretty.
This is what I used to wash away the pencil lines.
It worked like a charm.
You only need a TINY, tiny bit.
1 Tablespoon???
I guessed.

The baby shower is coming up!
The baby's birth is coming up!!!
I made it ...Just...in time!!!!

    Your grandbaby is a genius, I can tell already. She picked a Quilting Grandma! Way to go, Baby! She will be talented, too. It's in the genes.
    Love the colors and the pattern is my favorite. And there are scallops, too!!!!! Wonderful.
    Hugs,
