My grand daughter-in-law became an Aunt, for the first time, right about the time I got sick. She asked for this Taggie for her new niece. I just made it and sent her the photo. She said she loved it & thank you. I usually make the reverse side of a cotton or chenille fabric but she wanted both sides out of this Minky. My ribbons are mostly pastels so reminds me of Easter. I have satin, grosgrain, sheers and even velvet so she should have lots of textures to feel.

Just hooped it with a tear away stabilizer. I used water soluble stabilizer on top.
1532This looks gorgeous Toogie, I love all the beautiful coloured ribbons around the sides and Minky is such a tactile fabric. Love Chris

Hopefully this is the only one I have to make for now. They know I usually have supplies so they don’t mind asking. I had some beautiful buttered yellow, brown, orange, white and pink. I showed her all of them thinking she would choose one and I could make the opposite side out of anything I had to match, other than another Minky. However, this is what she chose.

Thanks. The last couple days I have felt like my old self. I cut out a camp quilt today and made all the blocks. I have the first two rows of blocks sewn together but I have nine more to do tomorrow. The organization needs them finished by June.

Nora sure loved her first one until it was lost. Cried like the toddler she was. Made a second one but just wasn’t the same, even though they were close in appearance.
