Alphabet Soup

I need to get out and run...or maybe walk.
I am out of shape.
I need to take my friend Katie's lead and get off this damn computer. (She wouldn't say damn).
I need to create.
I love this fabric that I have bought to make a gorgeous green wall hanging, to go on the bare curtain rod that is across my kitchen wall.
I put up the curtain rod at Christmas to display a very treasured gift- a Christmas Tree Rag quilt from my 58 year old best, Diane.
I bought this genius book, Alphabet Soup, online.
I smile when I look at this colorful book.
I don't like following full patterns much and am not an expert quilter.
I can take the alphabet patterns they give and create a great family heirloom.
I want to quilt out our last name.....and maybe try out some applique. Here we go......

  2. I LOVE the green fabric! Applique is a lot of fun as well. Quilts are amazing and will get passed down for sure. I have several that my great grandmother made that are just beautiful. Happy Quilting!
