We are all enjoying our copy of Girls World by Jennifer Paganelli! What a beautiful, inspiring book! I just love looking at all of the gorgeous photos and fabric!!! Ohhh la la!! I know I am going to make many more projects from the book this summer but I (we) put my toe in the water with these two so far.
Today's story begins with cutting blocks and deciding how to arrange the fabric on the Memory board:
This was a gift for a friend's daughter whose favorite colors were purple and pink!
I kept rearranging and then once decided, sewed and quilted the top. I added the ribbon and it was done....super fun and easy to do:
And I am not the only one making these. After my 13 yr old saw this, she decided to get in on the action and made this board. I helped with the ribbon but she cut and sewed all of the blocks:
It's now happily hanging in her room! Yaa!
When the time came to decide on gifts for my youngest two to give to their teachers, well, what better way to say thank you than a memory board?!!!! So the girls helped me pick out fabric and ribbon and off I went. For these I added a little batting and a ribbon to hang it all from. I also picked up a cute "teacher" notebook and printed out a few pictures of the girls with their teachers. Soooo cute... or should I say Sew Cute?! These are so fun to make!
So here are the finished boards:
The girl's can't wait to bring these into the teachers next week! Yaaaaa only a few days left of the school year until summer!
I also have my eye on a few other projects in this fabulous book to try very soon! The George the Puppy is a must-do and the floral lampshade. Can't get by without making the Annabel Apron for our summer cooking camp and the list goes on. Needless to say, I am going to get my money's worth on this pretty book!

ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the Sis Boom enthusiasm. And Jenny is right about those George Puppies. You could end up with a whole litter in no time. :)
ReplyDeleteYou ladies crack me up! I put George Puppies on the sewing list for the weekend.....perhaps I should start an adoption list as well! LOL!
