I had a nice day today - hubby took the kids in to get their bikes tuned up and I worked on the house. I unpacked a few more things that I've been putting off, and organized a bunch of pictures. It was just a nice quiet day. I even got time to work on my cathedral window quilt - that I haven't touched in TWO YEARS! :-( I swear, I'll never finish this thing! LOL It's a really time consuming quilt. It's sooooooo awesome, but mostly hand stitched. I'll see if I can find an internet link....
It's a true labor or love and I plan for it to be a family heirloom. All my scraps are from past sewing projects (dresses for daughter as a baby, blankets for the kids, etc., etc. ), clothes the kids wore when little, clothes of mine that were special, patches from hubby's old shorts, or scraps from my SIL's quilts. I want it to have a story and meaning. :-)
Here are some links I posted from my spark friends:
Here's an AWESOME tutorial! It's not exactly how I'm doing mine - this is actually easier - but if you guys are interested, read it and scroll through so you can get a good idea of what I'm doing :-) Mine right now is about 11x10 squares - so...110 squares! Each square is about 4 inches? My centers are 2x2.
