Sewing Projects

A quilt made for the granddaughter of one of my aunts.

A quilt made for the sister of a dear college friend who was going through radiation treatment.

There were many masks made this summer. Here are a few of the ones made for the kids. Many have since been lost. Sigh.

A quilt for a dear college roommate. I don't think I have ever put on so many borders. This quilt was so popular that a former co-worker of mine from Switzerland also ordered one.

Matthew liked the other one I made he wanted one of his own to hang on the wall for a cool zoom backdrop.

Baby quilt I made for a dear friend having a very LONG awaited baby #2.

T-shirt quilt I made for a former seminary student.

Wool quilt I made for Matthew's aunt.

 Some of the quilts (and masks) I've worked on this year. These have been such a saving grace to my sanity. I especially loved that so often the day I shipped off quilts to their owners fabric for the next quilt arrived in the mail. 

So many times when I have felt overwhelmed by life the answer to my prayers for help has been to sew. Creative outlets seem to have a calming and balancing power in my life. Oh how grateful I am to have discovered it so many years ago. It has blessed me so much.
