CELEBRATING the 2nd Trimester........

I hope that you enjoy this funky post of my current process of how I am creating a quilt for niece who is newly pregnant. I have the pics posted from most current step to origin. I title this the 2nd Trimester because there is still a lot of work with this piece. I have fallen in love with making quilts of the woman silhouette and see a future of quilts in this trend. May have found a niche for myself.






My pregnancy with Noah changed my life and I fell in love with the maternity phase of my 20's. I have longed for those 9 moths so often since his birth........While creating this quilt I have experienced emotions both in my heart and viscerally that I have never felt during other quilts. Shaping the breast gave me goosebumps and as I saw the fetus in my camera I was brought to near tears. I wondered how God felt while he was creating man and woman.......What a journey this quilt has become.

Happy TOOsday, Em

Em,
We sure do miss you and your family. Jake has had to have another surgery on his knee and so he has been off it for a month now and we are waiting for a doner bone (OCD in his knee)so he can have another surgery. His brain is going to mush with X-box so today we found a quilt kit called Braid parade that is all flannels. He is going to piece it together! I will let you know how it goes!

I loved being pregnant. It was such a magical time in my life. I am sad for the women for whom it is a time of sickness - I never felt more healthy or alive. Love the name of the post!
