In an earlier post, I briefly introduced you to my granddaughter, Chris, who has quickly became a huge part of my life. I've so enjoyed the blossoming of our relationship, and the recognition and excitement she exhibits when visiting her Mama and Papa (aka the hubby & I). Part of that relationship building has included the adoption of nick-names. Since her birth, I've auditioned a myriad of them, but the one that seems to have stuck is SugaBooga. Also since her birth, I've wanted to make cute little outfits and accessories for her, but as I mentioned earlier, life has been pretty busy and finding the time and energy to sew has been a challenge. So, I decided to settle in on a special project which would last her longer than a season or one of her exponential growth spurts.
In 2009, I inherited about 20 yards of this navy and gold cherub-print cotton fabric from my mom, who originally purchased it from Joann Fabrics back in 1997. I don't know what her intentions were for this fabric, nor did I know what I would do with it when it came into my possession. As a result, I stored it away out-of-view, and honestly forgot about it. In 2016, I reorganized my stash so I could easily take visual inventory of all the fabric I had on-hand. So, when I laid eyes on this fabric again 2 years ago, I had an epiphany that it would make an awesome comforter and bed linens for Chris.
