When life hands you scraps, make quilts!

So life in the Robertson household has hit 

the stress threshold in many ways.

You know how it is,

it's the good with the bad when it comes to parenting

not that it's all bad

but a lot of it is challenging.

Seriously.

Anyway this morning Annie woke me early

and then went back to sleep

and after I lay there awake for a while

I decided to get up.

I cut out four girl quilts

for some babies which (fingers crossed)

haven't been born yet.

I cut a new quilt for us

using Dana's pinwheel pattern

and some of the DS fabrics which amazingly

have come to New Zealand.

Oh and I pressed the blocks for my asterisk quilt.

Um, they are not the best blocks in the world,

I think they are going to have to be

SERIOUSLY TRIMMED.

I've looked on the Old Red Barn Co flickr site 

and there aren't a lot of asterisk quilts finished,

but I'm determined to finish mine,

even if it's the world's slowest quilt :)

I feel better now.

The cutting process makes me feel calmer.

Reuben and I are going to church together this morning

and that will help too.

Happy Sunday!
