Last spring, my niece was over for the weekend and I gave her a little lesson in quilting. She really seemed to take to it and we worked on what we dubbed a "wonky quilt". We were just rummaging thru my scrap bin and sewing random bits of colorful fabric together any way we felt like it. She did extremely well and I must say, I was impressed. We worked together and by the end of the weekend, we had a little quilt about 36 inches square (a bit wonky of course). It was meant to be a baby quilt for someone else, but I decided that it really should go to Zoe. She is not a baby, so it obviously needed to be a bit larger and over the course of the last 8-9 months, I've been working on it and adding bits here and there. Well, this morning, while visiting with my parents and my hubby, I finished it. It still needs to be washed so it can get all crinkly and snuggly, but I like to take a couple pictures before a quilt has been washed. This is a little sneak peek for you. I'll post a picture of the whole quilt after I've given it to her. This is such a special quilt to me, I hope it will be a special quilt for her too.
In less than 2 hours it will be Christmas here...if it is Christmas where you are already, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I hope you have a great day wherever you are! Thanks for stopping by my little blog.
p.s. Do you see that we will NOT be having a white Christmas this year?! At least it allowed me to take a few pictures in the yard without bundling up too much though. :)
