I am one who makes quilts, scrappy most of the time because I have only some scraps to work with. But I am one whose life has been scrappy, having to fend for myself as a kid, ect - its carried this far as an adult as well - but more by choice I guess.
When going thru hard times , I am one to make, create, bake, write, or help out those that might be less fortunate than I. This quilt is being made at such a time when life is hard in the wait and see game of our little grandson , Ollie, who at 10 months old, was born without sight.. As well as other neurological damage from birth. He is our pride and joy, and I smile knowing I am his grandma( mema ).. To ease the hurting right now of his last medical appts this week, I began making this quilt just to pass the time, and to hopefully bless the friend who will recieve it. No pattern, just scrappy blocks ( string blocks ) coupled with squares I had already cut, and sitting on a shelf.. I am using Steam a Seam for the first time, to applique my friends love of Dragonfly's.. they will go in the cream blocks in the center of the quilt top I hope.. Wish me luck in using this steam a seam stuff.. Gonna need it! :roll: :lol:
