First Birthday of the Year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

First grandchild's birthday of the new year.  Miss Kamrie had her birthday at the beginning of the month. I made her Alphabet bean bags.  They were inspired by some my daughter made for a couple of the grandkids for Christmas.  I purchased the alphabet fabric at Jo-Ann's and used 5 different colors of solid cotton.  I used purple, red, blue, orange and green.  I cut the blocks 4 1/2 " square.  I then pressed a letter of the alphabet on each solid square, I rotated through the colors.  Then I stitched each bag wrong sides together on three sides leaving the fourth side open.  I filled them with the poli pellets.  I used pins and pinned the fourth side closed.  Then stitched along the fourth side.  I used thread the color of the solid fabrics.  After stitching all four sides I trimmed the seams with pinking shears to minimize fraying.  Put them all in a small bucket.  I added some other alphabet friendly games and such to the basket and voila a great gift!  I have a vinyl cutter so I cut my own letters.  Or you can purchase iron on letters at your local sewing store.
