My Handy Work :)

I am a city girl who has always wanted to be a quiet country woman, but I can't seem to leave the city life. But I have learned some great things from my Grandma Lizzie (dad's mom). She taught me to be a worker with my hands. She tried to teach me to crochet, bead, and just be crafty. I Love the quilts and afghans that she makes. Aunt Ruth tells me that Grandma crochets now from her memory because she can't see well. I can't crochet with two hands two feet and two eyes. She amazes me. But I have decided that I can sew, thanks to my mom putting me in classes and giving me a sewing machine for Christmas, so I have started a baby quilt for our little one. I am so excited about it. I bought the squares, already cut, about 3 weeks before we knew what the gender was. I love the colors. I am so excited to finish it. I have pieced it together, and am now looking for a nice soft backing. Please do not examine the piece work, it is my first quilt and I haven't really sewed in a while. I know its crooked. :) But its mine. I love the fact that I can produce something useful with my hands. God is good.
