Instead, I walked out with Pure by <a href="http://sweetwater.typepad.com/makelifesweet/2010/09/a-great-weekend.html">Sweetwater</a>. I had also originally planned on making a quilt for myself with the fabric, but a great idea came along and so I offered up my fabric for the project.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A woman in my ward was just released as the Relief Society President due to her husband's terminal cancer. She has had a great impact on my life and I wanted to make her something for two reasons: a) to show my appreciation for all she does for those of us in the neighborhood, and b) to give her something to wrap herself in during the really difficult days ahead.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Those that served with her in the Relief Society each wrote messages to her on hearts, which I then sewed onto the blocks I made. The quilt was machine quilted by the lovely, talented <a href="http://piecenquilt.blogspot.com/">Natalia</a>. Another girl in my neighborhood will sew on the binding and hopefully we will present it to our old RS President this weekend. And hopefully everyone has kept it a secret so it will be a huge surprise!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I started quilting again about 6 months ago after a 5 year hiatus. I have so many unfinished projects from 5 years ago, but I absolutely fell in love with this fabric after seeing it in blog land and also seeing it at my local quilt shop. I came home with the fabric hoping that my husband wouldn't mind the purchase. I was shocked when he loved it even more than I did and suggested I go back for more so I could make a quilt for our bed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The quilt pattern is On The Run by Mary's Cottage Quilts and the fabric line is called Eclipse by Exclusively Quilters. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It was quilted by Natalia of <a href="http://piecenquilt.blogspot.com/">Piece N Quilt</a>. She did a fabulous job. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once I cut out all the fabric, the quilt was finished within a week. The cutting took me a few nights after working full-time at my day job. I took the quilt with me on a road trip to Minnesota to visit family. I bound 2 of the 4 sides and finished up the last two sides a few weeks later. (These pictures were taken before the binding was done). Now, it sits proudly on our bed. I have leftover fabric and I'm hoping to make some pillowcases to go with the quilt. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've found that quilting brings me a sense of peace in my life. Any time I can get in with my sewing machine leaves me feeling relaxed and happy. This quilt is the first of many to come. Two more are already with Natalia.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com15
