I did these Verandas Views blocks back in 2009 but could not figure out how to get them put together to fit the space I wanted to hang them in. Terry came up today and brought Emily with her. This soon to be wall hanging has now been worked on by 3 generations. Terry figured out the layout and cut the blocks and strips and I sewed them and then Emily pressed all the blocks for me. It needs to be put together yet and will have the green for the back and binding. It is just laying on the backing in this picture.
Granddaughter Emily ask me the other day if I would teach her to knit and of course I said yes, the next time we were together. Well today was the day and she is doing very well. She will practice at home to get more feel of the yarn and then I will start her on a project the next time I see her.
This is a sample jelly jar about 1 to 1 1/2 inches tall. While Terry and I were working on another quilt project to be shown later Emily was being creative in my sewing room and she made this for me. She has a good eye for design. It is made with all odds and ends I had in my sewing room. I love it.
Sounds like it was a really special day there!
