I have embarked upon a new project for the upcoming grand baby. I had bought the cutest pattern for a baby photo mat. You know what I mean, right? The one where it has weeks/months and you indicate the baby's age with the baby on the mat. This is the pattern I bought. I was going to make them for shower gifts. I didn't know at the time that I would be having a grandchild so soon!
My daughter send me this picture asking me if I could make one like this. Well I could, but it's not very cute now is it? This particular one seems very poorly made too.
That's when inspiration hit me! I have an idea for a mat that involves me paper piecing the numbers, the words "Weeks" and "Months". I am also going to FPP some hearts. I'm not ready to share exactly what I want to do but will share the numbers I have finished so far. I started on them last night and sewed for a few hours.
I managed to get 1-4 and 11 done.
I am so excited to be able to use some of the great "love" fabrics I have collected.
After all the gray and white quilts I have made I have lots of gray scraps!
I love her numbers and the heart is from her too.
The pattern shows them all from the same fabric, but I really love the scrappy version.

Finn and Cole were both trying to help me last night.
Cole is a good boy and lays on the blanket I have for cats.
Finn lays wherever he wants, usually where I am trying to work!
More to come!
