"You never forget a beautiful thing that you have made...it stays with you - always."
- Chef Bugnard
I came across this quote while reading Julia Child's book, My Life in France. I love the sentiment expressed; that even after you gift it away or pass it on, the beauty of something you made stays with you always. I'm not an accomplished cook like Julia, but I do like to make things with my hands. And so I present this new segment, Making it by Hand. Here for your viewing pleasure is my very first quilt. I made it for my friend who just had a baby boy. It's small and very simple, but I'm still immensely proud of it.
Thank heavens that blogs have made crafting cool again. Otherwise I'd have to be a closeted quilter.
That's really cute! I will likely never be a quilter, but I really love them.
ReplyDeleteYey for quilting! Your quilt is lovely. I think we should have a roomie reunion quilting bee. I have the frame. It would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! Well done! You'll have to teach me.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...what the heck? Where were these mad quilting skilz when I had a baby boy?? It's beautiful and I love that you made it.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Good for you! I'm dying to get back into some sewing, and knowing I can some day blog about it is definitely motivation!
ReplyDeleteI love it! do you want to make me one. ;) Just kidding... but really it is cute. You're so talented! I'm excited that are babies are due at almost the same time, I guess we'll have to see who has theirs first. I loved your family pictures too by the way!
ReplyDeleteSimon loves his new blanket. Perfect for tummy time! You're the best. Thanks for making it.
