The ABC Quilt



After all the times I messed this quilt up, I can't believe it didn't fall apart when I picked it up. :o) I truly think that I have never had to rip out, re-sew, improvise, and adapt so many times with one quilt. Every mistake I could make was probably made on this one. But now that it's done (and I'm glad it is finally done), I really love it!

Wow, Carrie, great job! I was just in my sewing room working on a couple of projects and decided it was time to call it a night when I needed to use the seam ripper. I came to my computer, checked your blog, and have new motivation again because of looking at that beautiful quilt!

Carrie, that truly is a beautiful quilt! All the hard work paid off - it looks great! Now you can tackle anything, right? I just read your Easter post. Great photos! We're so glad we got to visit your church and see you again. It made Easter egg-stra special (ooh, sorry, had to through that pun in!) Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog - yes, I was wearing the new outfit my dh told me to go buy. I felt pretty good in it and I appreciate your compliment. Thanks!

Take care - Kate

How do you edit a comment? I meant to say "had to throw that pun in". I hate making typing errors! Bye!

Wow, that is really awesome. What an heirloom. All the mistakes you had to fix probably makes it more precious.
