I can hardly believe that 2008 is almost over! As I look back on this year, I see so many ways that the Lord's hand was on our family. Sadly, I also see so many times that I have disappointed the Lord. I have to say that I just feel so unworthy of the grace He so freely gives. I want to do better in 2009!
I am so excited about my new "hobby"!! I have gotten the quilting bug! My great-grandma (yes, GREAT! she is 97) was the family quilter for many years. I always wanted to but felt a little overwhelmed. After reading Simply Susan's easy Invisible Nine Patch (in a previous post), and actually completing it, i got hooked! I have actually made five of them! And a Christmas lap quilt, and a quilted music bag for my oldest daughter for Christmas gifts. (thus the reason for no blog posts in December, lol) I love it, love it, love it. I am going to teach my daughters to quilt too.
Here is my lap quilt. I made it from strips of fabric that someone gave me. Quilting can be very frugal but can easily become very expensive! Buying new fabrics, all the cool quilting gadgets, etc... I am starting out small.
Here is the wall hanging I did for my bathroom.
If you want to see the tutorial again, here it is!
