“Floppy Hearts” for the ‘Have a Heart’ Project QUILTING challenge

machine appliqued and quilted by Capri Lapacek, age 6 in Poynette, WI

It only took 2 days

It is called floppy hearts because I sewed the hearts in the  middle of the hearts.

Trish came and taught me how to sew the binding on with a sewing machine.

Oh Pip

pip in a tutuThis is Pip.  She is the third sister of the three sisters and she is three years old.  Right now Momma is typing up Pip’s story.  When she’s bigger she’ll write her own adventures … but in the meantime … you’ll get it through my eyes … and my camera.  Here is Pip earlier today.  We had to run errands before dance so she dressed in a tutu, leggings, boots, a hat (and a coat which wasn’t on at the time).  She was just so adorable looking I had to take a few pictures.pip in a tututu

Pip makes a lot of faces – she even has her own hashtag #manyfacesofpip .  You’ll be seeing lots of wonderful faces from her and hearing about all her crazy sayings and adventures.  I hope you enjoy her as much as I do!
