Why I’ve Been a Bad Poster.
Okay, so here’s the excuse of the week. I volunteered to make a baby quilt. Our church makes memory quilts for every child born to (or adopted into) church families. Members make a quilt square (usually just a 6″ x 6″ square of white cotton), then someone puts them all together to make a quilt. Most of the time these are little baby-sized wall-hanging decorations, about 3 foot by 4 foot.
I said I would make the quilt for our bell choir director. I got a bit carried away. The final product was a 6 foot by 7 foot bell-shaped quilt.
And that’s why I haven’t posted all week.
Next week I’ll either have to post more often, or find other excuses (ah, Procrastination, thy name is Nessili.)

OMG….that quilt is FABULOUS!! You are so talented. I’m a seamstress by trade but I would absolutely go bonkers if someone asked me to make a quilt. Imagine that…give me a cathederal trained wedding gown any day. You did good!!

Thanks! Coming from a professional, that means a lot. The quilt really went together well, especially considering the largest quilt I’d made was a 4 x 4. I guess when the Lord gives you a good idea, He also provides the ability to accomplish it!
