First Finish – First Start


The little hat is my first finish for 2007…. Not very impressive but it is a start. My sister asked if I ever got tired of socks could I do a few hats for her. She does numerous projects for others and this is one I could help with. I needed a break so I made this hat this week. I would like to do one a week this year. That seems possible but I am making no promises.

I ordered the book by Faye Anderson “Applique Designs My Mother Taught Me to Sew” I had a hard time finding a copy. I ordered the first one on Amazon from a private seller. They were in California and it was lost in the mail. I tried again and this one came from Georgia. It arrived in a plastic bag with a letter of apology from the post office. Seems it got caught in a piece of equipment and caught fire. They sent the wet, charred remains to me but it was of no use. Finally I got one from a seller in Maine………. Woo Hoo….. I am all set now.

This is the beginning of my first block………. I hope to finish it tonight.
