My First Quilt Square


















The St. George Parish Crafters for Christ are now making a quilt. So here is the first quilt square I have ever made. It's hand stitched, but don't be so impressed. I had a lot of help from my mom, who is an expert quilter. Domestic talent runs in my family. My grandmother, aunt, mother, and sister could/can make a stunning ball gown from a pile of rags. And for 46 years, it seemed I had missed the boat or at least all that training. But through the Crafters for Christ knitting project -- A 100 Scarves for Christmas, I learned to knit and with this quilting project, I just might learn to quilt.

Just call me a last bloomer. I guess it's better to be late than never.
