Quilting Madness

I am the Humanitarian specialist in our ward. When I returned from our UT trip I discovered that the quilts that were suppose to be pieced and sewn together were still completely undone. So starting on Tuesday Night, Justin and I Quilted our eyeballs out.

By Thursday morning at 10:00 am (when we met at the church to set the quilts up to tie), we had managed to finish two entire quilts. It was a miracle to me! Justin was an amazing helper. He beautifully arranged most of the squares, and then brought them to me at the sewing machine in perfect order. We had an amazing system going. Being so pregnant, I couldn't have been more grateful for his help. In fact, I can't imagine such a project without his help!

Of course Max had his hand in the project too. He loved sitting on my lap while I sewed. He was completely fascinated with the sewing machine. Not quite as much help as Justin :) but oh so much fun!


Justin also enjoyed a little sewing of his own. I love that I can let him do projects like this with such confidence. He is careful and so responsible.

I love my boys!
