Quilting

As my RETREAT TO LOVE Pinterest board makes abundantly clear (as does the book itself, I suspect!), I think quilting is fabulous.

But I'm not especially talented. 

Kind of a good thing, really, because quilting takes a ton of time, and if I was better I'd want to spend alllllllllllllll my time hunched over my sewing machine instead of hunched over a keyboard. 

(I have poor posture.)

Regardless, I try periodically to put together a quilt that does me credit, and no matter how approximate my corners, I love the process. 

I've written about some of the work I've done on my general books / life blog, and wanted to link to it here so y'all could check out my creations. But remember, Ashlyn in RETREAT TO LOVE is a far, far more talented artist than I could ever hope to be. 

The fabrics in this first quilt I ever made, back when I was in college, are tied to my childhood.
