Let's start again shall we?
Because I would consider quilting to be my art, and because I am a mother, I'm finding that I spend more time cleaning counters and managing children than I do finding fabric and sewing projects.
And that's ok.
Because I love being a mother.
However, there are days. Yesterday was one of them. My toddler took a nap and my girls were each banished to separate rooms for 2 hours because they fought all. morning. long. Literally. And I used my own anger and frustration to clean a house that isn't clean anymore.
But today I found it! The pattern I want to use to transform a duvet cover that I love into a quilt that I will adore. So I'm eager to get to a sewing machine, of course instead I'm typing.
But I wanted to quickly post the projects that I HAVE accomplished over the past year because it hasn't all been in vain!
A chocolate and pink quilt with matching table runner for a friend.
A pair of large twin-sized quilts for another friend's twin boys. Yes these are denim and the backing is flannel. They were a bear to do, but they turned out fantastically!
A miniature folded fabric quilt for a dollhouse.
Some table runners for Christmas.
A baby quilt for our sweet baby boy.
And another for a sweet baby girl.
Normally the motherhood part pops in when the kids help me take pictures. This time, they refused so I held the quilt and my oldest took the pictures.
I'd like to pay more attention to construction and inspiration but honestly I don't know if that will happen. In the meantime, I'm finally caught up!
