Vivian Rose at Oma’s house, decked out in her mother’s Rebecca’s Bow Dress.<\/p><\/div>\n

I hope you all had a joyous Easter. The Ferguson family had a fabulous week of Easter celebrations! We saw both of our children with all four of our grandchildren, but not at the same time. A good bit of sewing was done before and after their arrival.<\/p>\n

Saturday we joined our son-in-law’s family for Easter dinner.\u00a0 5 yo Vivian Rose was resplendent in her mother’s 35 yo Rebecca’s Bow Dress,<\/em> with her curls confined to elaborate, elegant French braids.<\/p>\n

The original slip has been lost through the years so this white Imperial batiste slip was made.\u00a0 Because it really can be worn as a dress, a bow was embroidered on the yoke. To avoid it shadowing through the dress, it was stitched in a very pale pink and white.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The same yoke pattern was used with 1\/2″ removed from the top half of the armscye.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ever obliging 9 yo Alastair wore his bow tie made from the Little Boy Bowtie:the Quick and Easy Version pattern<\/a><\/em> which I have used so often.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The color matched the green leaves in his sister’s fancyband.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The bows alternated with 3 vertical strips of lace.<\/p><\/div>\n

I love this picture taken as Vivian was ready to put on her heirloom dress. Alastair was proud that he was already dressed and ready for the egg hunt.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The bunny was tied at the top with a bow, but Vivian HAD to open it.<\/p><\/div>\n

See the felt candy-filled bunny in Vivi’s hand? That was such a fun little project. I made 20 of these for the children at church, as well as for these two. Vivian had a bunny filled basket and loved handing them out. I so regret that I did not get a photo that or of all the pink, blue, yellow and white bunnies together. They were a big hit with all the children.<\/p>\n

The pattern is GG’s Designs Marshmallow Bunny Peekaboo Treat Bag<\/a><\/em>. This is her picture. They are quick and easy, with a single 4″ bunny in the 4×4 frame, two 4″ bunnies in the 5×7 frame or a single larger bunny in that same 5×7 frame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before dinner an after they were dressed for the occasion–Vivi in her sneakers and Alastair’s shirt tucked in– they were off to hunt eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What a treat it was to see a family of sand hill cranes strolling on the far side of the property.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This towel was a hostess gift for Oma. I meant for it to be a trial run of this darling Vintage Luxe Bunny from Hang to Dry Appliques<\/em>, but ran out of time. Sadly, that site was closed last year and had so many wonderful crazy patch designs like this.\u00a0 I wish I had purchased more. So Oma was given the first and only, so far, version. I’m eager to make more of these for next year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vivi came home with us because her preschool spring break was after Easter. So she was able to attend a beautiful Easter service with us. It was a special blessing for me to see this granddaughter wearing her mother’s dress.\u00a0 Additionally, each of the pastor’s children wore heirloom clothes that I had made through the years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ella is wearing Rebecca’s 34 yo peach Swiss batiste dress<\/a>, Vivi holding the bunny, Julie wearing Laurel’s Lace Dress<\/a> and Little Brother wearing a tucked and pinstitched linen shirt<\/a> above the handsome blue shorts his grandmother made for him. What a joy it was to see the girls’ delight in their heirloom dresses. Little Brother was cooperative but unimpressed.<\/p>\n

Through Easter week the guys attended a Gator baseball game in Gainesville, we all had breakfast at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill<\/a> at DeLeon Springs State Park. We dined and strolled through delightful DeLand where 14 yo Laurel, our own precious angel, posed in front of the angel wings, a favorite photo op in downtown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was up late Thursday night hemming new curtains for Laurel’s room. Friday morning they packed up and flew back to NJ. We miss them all already.<\/p>\n

NANA FUN<\/p>\n

When I suggested that Vivi remove her kiddie Fit Bit for church, she insisted, “No! If I take it off I might not make my goal!” She’s 5!!!! It’s a whole new world for this old fashioned Nana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
