his was made while i was pregnant with my third baby, because i didn’t know if i was having a boy or a girl. so i made his and hers at the same time. up close. 2 ginghams, yellow flowers, and that’s bumblebees if it’s still hard to see. as you can tell, i specialize in imperfect. i’ve finally embraced it as my personal style. yeah, that’s it, it’s my style. Continue reading my fourth child’s quilt for maury, who keeps asking, and i keep putting it off. i tell myself it’s because i don’t want to brag and show off, but good grief, what else is this blog about if it isn’t bragging and showing off?! so here it is. i kinda finished it on time for the trip – i ran out of the thread i was using, but it’s functional anyway, and i was able to keep my promise to my sweet boy. here’s an up-close of the blocks. and while i’m all-out bragging i guess i’ll take the next few posts to show the others’ quilts. you know, in the name of fairness to my children – never in shameless showing off! Continue reading my second born’s quilt if you haven’t read especially heather you should. i think you’ll find her uplifting and will want to lift her up. God is using her in incredible ways and she can always use more encouragement. she’s half-way through her radiation treatment and is throwing a blog party. you should go here and add to the comments and let her know where you’re from. and link her. because you never know who else is supposed to know her story.

(just ignore the stained dinosaur jammy shirt – it was not worth the fight.) Continue reading in all my spare time  |
