The purpose of my web log is to be a connection to my children, extended family and friends. However, all are welcome! Verse of the year: Philippians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

 This pattern is called "Sister's Choice." The first time I designed a quilt using Sister's Choice was for Cheryl. It's still sitting on paper!
I did this design by scanning the actual fabric on my scanner, then filling in squares and triangles with the actual fabric image. How cool, huh??!!
I have designed this quilt for a little girl in my church who is going to be a new sister. They think her mama is going to have a boy. She is convinced that the doctors are wrong and that she is really going to have a sister. I made him (ahem) a quilt and she liked it (but it was browns and blues)... so... since I don't get to do girlie things very often, I decided to throw one together for her.
Of course, I think "throw together"... I get all creative and then it turns into a project that never gets done. I'm going to try to get this one out the door in under a month. I'll let you know how it goes.
While I was designing this, Jonny came and sat down by me. "Mom, I want you to make me a quilt for when I go away. This is what I want it to look like:" and he drew me a picture of what he wanted his quilt to be like. How cool. I am going to get on that project very next thing.
I'll post a photo of this quilt finished. Keep on me about it! Don't let me just put it in a trunk and give up!!
Next, I'll post a more complete, detailed design of Jonny's quilt.
Love to all.

Progress note: I have decided to add 2 more rows to the bottom so that it fits a twin-size bed better. Each of the tiny squares are 1 1/4 after being sewn together. They are 6 1/4" square when done.
I have all the squares except the last 2 rows. That means 5 pieced squares. The most time-consuming part is done. Now it's a race to the finish!

Oh my gosh, it looks SO MUCH CUTER in real life!!
I'm still working on it.

I ran out of white fabric, so that delayed me a bit. It took me 2 days to finally get to the store and get more. I bought a new rotary blade too and WOWWIE does it work better!!
I cut all the rest of my pieces out and now I have to go home and sew them together.
