"grain for grain, sun and rain... i'll find my way in nature's chain. tune my body and my brain to the music of the land" -peter, paul and mary

these almost finished pieces of lucas's rocket quilt have been wadded up on the sewing table downstairs taunting me. for some reason i was frozen at batted and quilted. the edging... scared me to death. i'm not sure why? i think i was afraid i'd ruin something that so far, looked pretty darn good. there it sat. laughing. i'd run out of projects. all things checked off my list... do i dare???! i dared. it's finished. first quilty-lovey ever made by me. and i am soooo-oh-so-very proud of myself.

    Cathy-dear... I'm not sure what to charge for a quilt this size. It's such a labor of love putting a quilt together...sewing all the while with thoughts of the wee one that will be snuggling up in it. How cute is the little girlie fabric out there right now!!

    I was over on beebeemods blog and saw your title on the sidebar and had to click it. I have a Lucas too, so your blog title jumped out at me. He is cute. Your blog is adorable. Love all your quotes.

    Beautiful job on the quilt--great prints!
