Amazing Faith

My daughter is amazing! She is only 11 years old, but she can already sew, cook, crochet, and knit. And now, she can quilt, too! She recently decided that she wanted to make a quilt. So, she came to me and asked me if I had any fabric she could have to cut up. Well, I had plenty, left over from unrealized sewing projects over many years, and was glad that somebody wanted to do something with it. The next thing I knew, she had commandeered my sewing machine, and was stitching 6-inch squares of fabric together. She then climbed up to a forgotten corner of my closet where she had spied some batting, got it down and cut it to fit the pieces she had sewn together. Next thing I knew, she had produced a beautiful, bright quilt! Here are some pictures of her work.

About Valarie

I love to travel and spend time with old friends. I enjoy cool Autumn nights, Summer Lightning Bugs and Spring Thunderstorms. I love my cats, and cannot imagine life without them. :) I write some poetry, and some short stories. Nothing paradigm shifting. I love being Catholic. I enjoy crochet, cooking, and rock-n-roll. I'm easy to get along with, hard to offend, and loyal to the bitter end. My husband and my children are my heroes. Hmmm. . . not too much else to tell.
