Knitting Project

In a previous post, I mentioned the knitting that our group does (Cuore di Maglia).

The sizes seem so small- doll-size!

We meet on Fridays at our association and also on Thursdays at the retirement home in the historical centre.

A few of us having aperitivo
after our knitting time at the retirement home!

We knit garments for the premature babies born in the main hospitals in Italy.

Here is a video that my friend found on YouTube of a premature baby and his 100-days journey. It is really touching. He is wearing a knitted hat and we do similar work in Italy. I know that families appreciate the gift.

Quilts for the Twins

I am almost finished the commission quilts for a set of twins.

Basically, I am making a bar quilt using their baby clothes. Since they are twins and very close, I added a piece of fabric in each of their quilts from the other sister.

The black polka-dot binding fabric is perfect for
the bright and busy quilt top

At the end of June, the twins, their mom and I met at Sew Sisters and the girls chose the fabric for the in-between vertical strips. As expected, each girl chose a fabric that reflected her personality.

The girls drew lovely drawings which I transfered onto cotton and used as their labels.

I want to have them delivered before I leave for Europe....that's soon!
