I love...

THIS!!  Cutest Quilts are here!   I am a very amateur quilter, (I've made two- and nothing this impressive) but I still LOVE quilting.  I love vintagy-handmade-heirloom stuff, and so quilting is a perfect art form for me.  I love that when you are quilting, you are having this sort of love affair with your fabrics.  You become OBSESSED; you can't quit until you have every piece of fabric that satisfies your craving placed in the perfect spot.  But the great thing is, you can have as many affairs as you want! When you finish one quilt, and are totally bored with your old lover, you move on to the next quilt.  haha.  and so it goes...  good thing I'm happily married or this would be a creepy post!

No, it still is a creepy post. Ha! Just kidding!

My parents gave me the most beautiful heirloom quilt over Christmas break from one of my great-grandmothers. I love it. I should take a picture and show it to you. I also got a lovely quilt from my grandmother that she made when she was in Hawaii --- it looks Hawaiian, but not in a tacky way. I love having these pieces of art that we use and that people worked on so tenderly and just having that history in our home.
