Preview of my latest baby quilt top by Wendy F.

    I needed to make one last baby quilt (for now anyways) and I had

    some fabric picked out, but I could not find it. My Mom and I went

    through the whole house and I was beginning to think I had  imagined

    it. Earlier this week I went looking for some fabric for the back of 

   an other quilt but stopped when  I opened  one particular container .

   I found in it  4 of  the fabrics that provided the inspiration for this quilt, 

  the yellow fabric I found stored in another container. It is neat how God

   brought the ideas together in my mind . 

 

Erleen's quilt

Erleen's quilt spread on the table . She did a fabulous job of tying it , you can barely seen the red ties . ( I want to post a little bit of the history behind the blocks and the sashing, so I need to get the details straight first and I will come back and edit this post .)

Our expectations

Jane Kirkpatrick is one of my favorite authors , she has this quote on her website .

From the author...

I've finished my latest manuscript with insights about the benefits of completion.  As Leonard Cohen wrote:  “ring the bells you still can ring / forget your perfect offering / everything has cracks / it’s how the light gets in.”  Let the light in to your day with my latest words of encouragement. 

    I think this can apply to us as quilters. We are always learning , though we can aim for perfection, we can never reach it . Beginners especially should not expect perfection on their very first project ,or even on their 2nd , or  3rd  project . Leave the mistakes , accept them, learn from them , say thank you  when complemented , don't point out your mistakes !
