I've been working hard to stay busy as I wait on this new job to start. It is such a long process to get through all the paper work for the government. So with all the time I have now on my hands. I've pulled out an old project I started with Kayla when she was 12 years old. We started a quilt together and had it all ready to begin quilting the layers together. With all of life's changes we never got around to finishing. Now she's married and expecting their first baby I thought the timing was perfect for me to finish it. :)
I can't believe what a great job we did in piecing this quilt - yes some of the edges don't quite match up just so but it is done with so much Love.
Now I'm hand quilting the pieces together and even as I quilt I am reminded of how hard it is to quilt. :) We made the batting extra full so that it would be a warm blanket. We had hoped to give it as a gift to one of our chinese friends and their winters were very cold ;) .
Now her first baby can use it and know that his mom hand quilted each square and his nai nai hand quilted it together.
There is something very special about hand made things......
