My next quilt, for Kyra, will also be a simple large square design but the one after that, I'll get a bit more adventurous! Hopefully, THEN, I might feel like a real grownup!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064122349886713927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134786.post-73253866617075426682011-01-11T21:56:32.546-05:002011-01-11T21:56:32.546-05:00Doesn't completing your first quilt make you f...Doesn't completing your first quilt make you feel like a different person?

Inspiring you is the least I could do considering how much I look up to you and all the wonderful ways you find to teach your beautiful children about our Lord. I read your blog and steel more then my fair share of ideas! I hope you sit down at your sewing machine soon. I can't wait to see what new designs you create!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064122349886713927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134786.post-29770297665878117262011-01-06T08:23:21.127-05:002011-01-06T08:23:21.127-05:00Thank you, Alicia.

I've got patches for a quilt for Ben almost done but one more patch needs to be pieced and then they need to be sewn together and quilted. And he's now almost 18 months old! I should have stuck with something simpler like yours. Then maybe it wouldn't seem so daunting. My goal is to get my sewing table cleaned off and finish that quilt at least before our new baby comes in February. Thank you for inspiring me to push forward.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134786.post-85871662800002657262011-01-05T22:10:20.765-05:002011-01-05T22:10:20.765-05:00Thanks, Melanie!

I keep laying my remnants together trying to find the right combination for my next quilt. Why didn't anyone tell me it would be addicting?Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064122349886713927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134786.post-32303279606411123542011-01-05T18:21:48.842-05:002011-01-05T18:21:48.842-05:00I love those colors.

It might be elementary; but I rather like very basic quilts with big blocks. I've made more complicated ones; but for quick and easy toddler bedding, I think it's the way to go. I bet now that you've made one quilt, you'll get the bug to make more. I know I did.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134786.post-86868881021140393762011-01-04T21:35:31.076-05:002011-01-04T21:35:31.076-05:00Melinda- I am hardly crafty!

Sewing a bunch of squares together may look hard (or maybe I'm just easily intimidated), but I promise you, a kindergartener could do it!

Good thing too, since laundry is non-stop around here with a house of boys. Finally getting slowly back into cooking since having and Benjamin, easing into some baking. When I'm in the mood, I really love being in the kitchen. I've got a long way to go to achieve the greatness of you though Alicia. I've really been interested in sewing, never tried it though. I'll admit it, I'm intimidated. Never been successful at the crafty stuff. <br />Way to go you!
