a granbaby quilt


a Grandmotherly thing to do

well, yesterday I finally got my act together and began to sew the quilt top for my granddaughter. We went to JoAnne fabrics in late June and picked out the fabric and only now am I beginning it. It has been a busy time since then. I just got back from a tour with Jerry in Montana. We went to visit many of our friends in many different churches, telling them about our lives in Kiev. Each time I looked at pictures of our friends, it made me homesick for our life there and hope things are going well for them. It is funny...when we are in Kiev, I am homesick for our life with our family back in the states, it seems that we are always missing the other life, whichever one we aren't in at the time, get it? Guess that is where trust comes into play.

Anyway, I began sewing the quilt and finished the top yesterday. I like it, it is pretty wild and colorful, our granddaughter loves color and design even at this very young age.

Can't wait to finish it and see my grandbaby sleeping underneath it!

Looking forward to hearing from our friends in Kiev, how they are doing....
