“I am resolved to be a good mother to my children, to pray for them, to set them good examples, to give them good advice, to be careful both of their souls and bodies, to watch over their tender minds; to carefully root out the first appearing and buddings of vice, and to instill piety, virtue and true religion into them.“

On My Mind

 I bought this fabric a while ago, and was going to do a rag quilt with it, but didn't.  I found out recently that my nephew and niece in law's baby that is due in October is a boy!  I remembered the fabric and stitched up the squares on the machine and am now hand stitching around each square!


What a joy to make a gift that is both beautiful and practical!
