Quilting some cozy {WIP 6/31}

Nothing quite like reading a deep reflective about the difficulties of being counter-cultural to make you feel like your writing is less than relevant... but hey - Jenny is a great writer, and has been at this longer than I. And she keeps having Popes kiss her babies... Anyway.

So, quilts. Babies need cozy things and pregnancy hormones are a powerful motivator, so this happened.

Dinosaurs! Appliqué! Adorable! Even cuter completed and covered in cute baby.

My first patch quilt revolves around an endearing duck-print seersucker print. I inherited it in the form of a short sleeved-long pants romper, with sadly non-snappy snaps. I just needed to preserve it somehow. So I did. And then it got a bit addictive.

There’s something hugely satisfying about making cozy blankety bits to cover your loved ones. And in using otherwise unusable bits of lovely fabric. Or fabrics with meaning. Leftovers from a project shared with a dear friend. Or clothes that she passed down to you. Or that (now) tattered skirt that you wore (almost) every day in University... All of those are in here. And now it lives with that friend. It’s just the loveliest heart-warmingest thing (besides soup).

Tomorrow, in honour of WIP Wednesday, you get to see the quilt I’m actually working on right now!

Love,
