Sewing and Beyond with Mary Anne Ciccotelli

This is one of the projects that I am working on right now.

The Stone’s will be released from being temple president and matron at the end of the month, and I have always wanted to make her a quilt. So now is the time. One time when I was talking to her she said that she would love to have an Autumn wallhanging. So, hopefully she will like this.

(Left): Border (darker) w/leaves

(Right): Border (lighter) w/o leaves

Which border do you like the best?

I am using silk leaves for the “Falling Leaves”.

I love being a Grandma!

One day Tom took the day off work and we went to the Bronx Zoo.

I always love seeing the monkeys. I think they are so cute.

I think Grandma is almost to big for this slide, but Autumn didn’t want to go down alone.

Have you ever seen a turtle like this?
Or this?

Autumn feeding a goat in the Children’s Zoo.
Autumn wanted leave the Children’s Zoo because she wanted to eat her treats but there was no food allowed in this area of the zoo.
Also, she didn’t like the animals licking her hand.(See how she is wiping off her hand on her pants.)

The BUG carousel

Autumn choose this butterfly bench to ride on.
