Margaret and I have been inspired by her best friend, Megan, and her mom to make a quilt. It will be a patchwork quilt with a square for each month. Each month will have a picture that is make from one of Margaret's sweet little hand prints. So far, we have picked out material, paint, other supplies and begun the hand print portion of the project. On Tuesday of last week, we did our first four hand prints at mom's house. These pictures will be added later, as they are on mom's camera. This weekend during some of my mommy alone time I turned the hand prints into pictures similar to those in the book that we are using as a guide. They really turned out well and Margaret was VERY proud to see each almost finished square. She still will have some gluing and stitching to do.
Hopefully, this labor of love will be finished before Christmas. I know that the putting together and sewing part of this project is going to be a challenge for me. We plan for all the hand prints to be finished well before Margaret's birthday, so they will all be 3-year-old hands. We will continue to post about our progress!
