The Heart of Love

The Heart of Love – A Quilted Pillow by Mercedi Lapacek, age 8 for the ‘Have a Heart’ Project QUILTING Challenge.

Hi   I am Mercedi Rose  Lapacek, I made a quilted  pillow. It is my  first  pillow!  I  can enter  it in  two  different  Challenges! (project QUILTING and the Nancy Zieman Pillow Challenge)

 

I used  my own  needle  and   thread   from  my   Gramma  for my birthday.

 

I am  very   proud  of it.  Have  you   ever  made  a pillow before?

 

I put snowflakes and other fancy stuff on it.

 

I am 8 years old and I made it all by my self!

 

I love it!!!!!

Floppy Hearts Quilt

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

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

Size: 14” x 17”

I had over   12  hearts on my quilt.

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.

I picked purple because my favorite color is purple.

I did fancy stitches.

It was my second quilt.  I am proud. 

Oh Pip

This 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 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!
