Accomplishment by Susan L.
After having put the push on this past weekend to finish the wedding present, it got finished today. I'm already looking to the next project: a baby shower gift. It will be a quilted growth chart like those made for my grandchildren.
I enjoy having some kind of hand work on the go. It's especially nice on those long, dark winter evenings that seem to drag on and on.
When I have finished that I want to make a new quilt for my own bed. The first one I made years ago is starting to look tired and worn.
My favorite is doing crazy quilts. It's far more forgiving of imperfect seams. They look funky, too. I add beads and buttons and other embellishments like embroidery. Mind you, they are nothing like the original crazy quilts of days gone by.
The nicest thing is every time I make one I fondly remember my aunt who patiently taught this non-sewer how to make them. I knew more about power tools than fabric. Little did I know how many I would make or just how valuable it would be as a wellness tool.
"She seeks wool and flax and willingly works with her hands." Prov 31:13
