I can't sleep, so I'll quilt...

I have been on the 12 hour graves exactly 2 days now and I can't sleep again. So, I decided it is time to get up and work on my latest quilt and I can take it to work this evening and during down time, I can tie it together.

It is a small lap or infants quilt that is blue flannel on one side and blue and golden brown weaving/lattice on the other. It would make a great light weight quilt for an infant in the summer or a nice lap quilt for a road trip, sitting in an RV or even someone in a nursing home.

I feel right now that God is calling my family on a wonderful journey and I don't know what it is right now but I do believe it has to do with my quilting. I have always dreamed of living in a 2 story home with a wrap around porch (you know like the porch on Cracker Barrell Restaurants) that has a white picket fence and all along the railings I would hang my quilts and aprons out to sell.

Please trust me when I say I am not as talented as the Amish and would never claim to be. Their tiny stitches, beautiful piecing quilts are so intricate. Perhaps someday I will be able to sit down and watch or be invited to particitpate in one of their quilting parties, but right now, I do believe God has given me a gift and that gift is making cherished heirlooms for others.

Well, now I am getting sleepy again, so off to bed I go!
