Chloe's Quilt

When we first started prepping for a transition to twin beds for Chloe and April, I started seeing pictures online of these "scrappy trip quilts" that seemed to be pretty easy to put together.  6 rows on a diagonal lend the pattern to many different designs...plus, there was a "cheat" step so as not to sew itty-bitty squares together.


I started this process at the end of January.  I bought material, started Chloe's and Aprils, bought more material, charted out which squares I would need.....stopped working on April's, since she has her bed rail up (a good enough excuse) and just focused on getting Chloe's done.

Today, we put it on her bed!!







6 rows by 8 rows....48 blocks....288 strips of fabric....15 bobbin re-fills :)  She seems to like it :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
