Dear Sis,

Our dinner/bonnet-making party, Friday evening, went very well. I didn’t get much work done that night, but the last two days I have one bonnet ready for trimming and another being quilted. Of course, I took a simple project and made it crazy, by completely hand sewing it! I am using Anna Woden Bauersmith’s Quilted Winter Hood pattern, which is one of the nicest period patterns I’ve used:)

The pattern has two crown sizes. Your smaller face won’t be overcome by this petite bonnet:) I can’t wait to give it to you so I can see the look on your face when you try it on!

Love,

b
