second quilt




finished my second quilt in the wee hours of sunday morning.i haven't really figured out how to miter the corners, so, needless to say, the quilt is not perfect. it is pretty, though. corey says that it reminds him of jane austen, which, of course, warms my soul.
the quilt is actually a baby gift for a dear couple. i'm not sure why, but i am very excited about this child. for now, i have just surrendered to the fact that i am especially drawn to the nurturing of this child, rather than feeling weird about it. every person is special, but only certain people hold special places in one's life. it's a start.
couldn't resist a photo shoot with elijah and the quilt. the photos turned out nicely. the first one especially. you can't pose babies, and he looks just like he's praying. what a special boy!
