Reading is Fundamental

 Last week was New York Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY.  Quilters know that Houston hosts the largest quilt show in the US; knitters know that Rhinebeck hosts the largest sheep and wool fest in the US.  I happen to live near Rhinebeck and I also happen to knit.  What a great combination!

My daughter and her wife are both avid knitters so this festival is an annual tradition for us.  They come and stay for several days as we enjoy all things knitting.  This year was even more special because this was my grandson's first visit to my house!

I made sure I had foods my girls liked and had to make a non-food treat for my grandson.  I made him a fabric book so that we could read it to him and so that he could shove it in his mouth.


I bought the panel from Sue's Fabric World (sorry, she doesn't have an online presence) and she recommends Pellon Craft Fuse for baby books.  It worked great!

I *might* be expecting another grandbaby this winter and *might* have another book panel to stitch together for grandbaby #5.  I will definitely be buying more Pellon Craft Fuse for the next book!
