Creating

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No
matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an
inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Creation
brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others
when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of
beauty."

-President Uchtdorf

I love this quote and it truely spoke to me today. I think I might have it made into vinyl and put it on my wall in my craft room someday...If I ever get my craft room. I guess a girl can dream....*sigh*

Making Progress....Crib Quilt Done!

So yesterday I finally finished the Crib Quilt I have been sewing! I am IN LOVE with the material, in fact, I first found it when I was shopping for material for the car seat cover my mother-in-law is helping me make. Anyway like I said, I fell in love with it, and bought enough to make the car seat cover. Well, the more I looked at it, I decided that I had to make the crib quilt out of the same material, so back to JoAnn's I went and bought more! (Don't worry I went to 2 different JoAnn's so that the workers didn't think I was crazy! I know I shouldn't care what the cashiers and fabric cutters at the store think, but I can't help it!...maybe that does make me crazy?)


Enough of my rambling...Here are a couple of pictures of the crib quilt I finished last night (9/26/10)
ENJOY!

up close so you can see the pattern on the fabric

I bordered it in the matching brown polk a dot material, then made and sewed different colored peaks along the outside of the blanket, and to finish it off I tied it with white yarn.



(The reason the peaks in the bottom right corner are pointing up instead of down is because I had not slip stitched the opening closed yet. No Worries, it looks normal now!)
