This winter, Sarah and I have enjoyed making quilts together. On cold winter afternoons, we run down to our sewing room and pull out stacks of material. We look through our quilt books and find a pattern we like - and start sewing! These quilts will be fun to use in our future, and will hold many memories of sisterly sewing conversations. Be sure to take time to do projects together with your own siblings - you will never regret it. It is good just to have a special time to talk with them as you work.

The green quilt above Sarah made last year, and I have one to match. The other one is a crib quilt. It is really fun to make crib quilts for hopechests, and will be neat to tell your children someday that you made that for them when you were younger!

Those quilts are gorgeous! I absolutely love quilts and, Lord willing, hope to learn the art of quilt making soon. :) Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure these excellent quilts will be in your home one day -- well -- they are ALREADY treasures in your home today! The green sampler quilt is more ambitious than any I've ever made and I've quilted for over 20 years! Well done, girls!

Your quilts are beautiful - what a wonderful way to spend time together! My sisters and I love to quilt too. Although quilting can be time-intensive, it is always worth the effort. May the Lord continue to bless you both!

What wonderful memories you are making together! :) All the quilts are beautiful. My little sis and I have quilts that we are each making but she's been more faithful in working on hers than I have been...
