Stitching With Baby

I am making each of the boys a special quilt as Christmas gifts. I began working on James' quilt this afternoon. :)


I finished stitching the first block for James' quilt this evening. His quilt is blocks of alphabet letters and sweet little nursery animals and such.



Baby James wanted to see what mama was working on, so he climbed up to look. What precious little moments! I know he won't remember watching me make his quilt, but I look forward to telling him when he is bigger that he watched me stitching his blocks.

A New Pink Quilt!

I began piecing this quilt for a wonderful friend. I love that it is made completely from scrap material. Aside from being rather frugal (you can't beat free!), each fabric has it's own story, it's own unique history and that makes the quilt all the more special. I love making things for people. I love taking the time to pray for them as I work with my hands. It's a special time to me, and it reminds me all the more of the love that I have for whoever I am making the item for.

It has been a while since I have done any quilting, so I can already spot a few imperfections in this one. But, I'd rather have an imperfect quilt made with love, than a perfect quilt made by a stranger's machine. :)

I will share more pictures as the quilt progresses.

With Love,
