Quilt

i’m making the most lovely quilt. i have the top done, i’ve just cut the borders.. i’m about to iron down the seams, then sew on the borders, then it’s a grueling evening of pinning the the top to the stuffing and the backing… oh yeah i guess i have to cut the backing yet.. i’ll cut the backing and sew it together after i sew the borders on.. THEN it’s pinning time. I loathe that part. you have to spread it out on the floor and try and keep the dog off of it for hours while you kill your knees and your back putting a zillion safety pins in it. I wish my husband was home to feel sorry for me while i do it haha. I do like being a martyr. I took the quilt top into the fabric store to get advice on how much material to buy for borders and backing and the woman who wasn’t a quilter said to the woman who was, ‘look at that! could i make something like that??’ she just loved my quilt :) it’s so fun and funky. i am loving it too. i’m so glad i got off my butt and started working on it. I think Jesus is liking it too.

  2. Good for you!! Creativity is good for the soul & your emotional health. I don’t quilt, but I do enjoy art projects, interior design, & gardening. It all puts you in touch with Nature & your deeper spiritual being.
    Blessed be….
