Yesterday, I spent the afternoon at an embroidery machine putting family names... writing them in the "sand". Cool.
... This was the first entry in my quilt journal...

Today I am cutting into the fabrics chosen for Aunt Jean and Uncle Don's quilt. It is always scary doing that, I want to do it right the first time!
I searched the largest quilt shop in the area and wasn't happy with their selection of beach type fabrics. My friend, Audrey told me that JoAnn's had a beach line, I went up Wednesday to check it out, and they are beautiful. I picked 10 prints that look like they'll go together. Watery blue, sand, browns, and light tan.
I read something today that said the quilter prays for the recipient of the quilt as she cuts and sews. What a great idea!
