Quilts

February 5, 2010

A Christmas of quilts.  Before the holidays, I finished a quilt for myself that I had been working on for years.  In December I made one for John for xmas, all tartan fabrics.  And Anderson received one that I started when I was 16 and first learning to quilt from my Grandmaman.  There are still a few more on the go, a small one for a baby girl that I started back in highschool as well. And a nine-patch with pastel prints.  I found a great quilt at the Lively craft show, "Woodland Winter", I thought it would be perfect for snuggling under with hot cocoa over the holidays.

a brief intro.


This blog is about my journey as a mom. The struggles, the joys. My quest to navigate through my new identity, while trying to retain a bit of my old identity. It will contain useful (hopefully) info, photos of my Ander and Maeva, reflections on being a mom, as well as art, creativity, things I find inspiring.
