I've set aside some of my favorite baby clothes that the boys wore and hope to make 2 quilts out of them someday.HippyChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601412572546068072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938307689444594329.post-45758639949894522062010-08-11T14:06:04.792-07:002010-08-11T14:06:04.792-07:00Marianne,

It is so wonderful to see someone finish a quilt project because I know how long it could take. I quilt but have not touch that craft for a long time. Mainly due to not having enough time. LOL! Good to see improvement of you and your hubby as well!<br />Blessings. ♥Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691781001248443142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938307689444594329.post-66455065417646368582010-08-11T14:04:09.319-07:002010-08-11T14:04:09.319-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691781001248443142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938307689444594329.post-85939189291628711232010-08-10T12:45:41.310-07:002010-08-10T12:45:41.310-07:00Oh how this post and these comments make me so hap...Oh how this post and these comments make me so happy! <br /><br />The quilt is so great and special, I'm so proud of you for finishing it!!<br /><br />You ladies that have commented above, I love knowing your faces and hearts, and I feel so blessed that you all continue to link up to AP Tuesdays.

It only looks like I'm that organized. I feel like I'm not...and that's why I need the list. Some weeks, we don't get the upstairs vacuumed. Some weeks, I scrub the toilets and skip the tubs. And you know...I'm okay with that. At least, this helps me to keep track of things. I understand about your husband not joining in. My hubby never really knew what to have the kids do. So at least now it's written down. Also, it seems to work well if I have the kids check each other. (Yours are younger, so I'm not sure it would work yet.) When one boy finishes his chores, the other one is supposed to "check" his work. If I discover later on, that boy #1 didn't do his job, then boy #2 has to complete it with him, since he should have caught it. They seem to take their jobs more seriously this way...nobody wants to do double chores! :) I've seen so many different great systems out there...you'll find the one that works for you.<br />Still praying for ya, by the way:)Marie @ Chocolate-Covered Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799442309205593163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938307689444594329.post-35397957518326262402010-08-10T11:26:28.423-07:002010-08-10T11:26:28.423-07:00The quilt and potholders are BEAUTIFUL!

You accomplished it and got it finished and I bet your daughter loves it. <br /><br />So happy to hear things are getting better with your hubby and that you have been encouraged so much during an overwhelming and difficult time.

You did ...Those potholders and quilt are beautiful! You did a fabulous job. Oh, I admire you so much for completing it! I have an under the sea quilt I started for my Baby Boy over 2 yrs ago and it has lain neglected for a while, so I know how hard it is to finish when you're just not a quilter. And mine isn't even as complicated as yours! Wow, it looks amazing.<br /><br />And I'm so thankful your relationship is improving with your husband! I've been praying for you since last Tuesday when I read your post and will continue praying. It was just so personal that I wasn't sure if I should comment on it. I know I've written posts in the past that were extremely personal and I didn't really write it for anyone's input, more to vent than anything else. But I did want to let you know there are people that visited your blog and are supporting you in prayer just like me. Keep your beautifully determined attitude. I hope you have a wonderful week! *HUGS*Driftwood Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910812099770116766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938307689444594329.post-91380647500461279312010-08-10T08:27:04.304-07:002010-08-10T08:27:04.304-07:00Great lessons, and I love the fabric choices.

What a good use of the extra fabric.RedBettySummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642703297336394771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938307689444594329.post-54906129551346472432010-08-10T05:45:18.187-07:002010-08-10T05:45:18.187-07:00The quilt is beautiful, Marianne!

Meanwhile, I'm procrastinating on the quilt for my oldest son, because I know it's going to be tricky. Plus...I really hate cutting the fabric. That's my least favorite part! I need someone to get me beyond that...then, maybe I'll get somewhere:)<br />Potholders are great! I made potholders galore a few years ago and gave them as Christmas gifts. Yours are lovely! And now you can sit back and smile at the quilt that your daughter will always treasure:)Marie @ Chocolate-Covered Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799442309205593163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938307689444594329.post-63736357206255444722010-08-10T03:01:37.598-07:002010-08-10T03:01:37.598-07:00The quilt and potholders turned out beautifully Ma...The quilt and potholders turned out beautifully Marianne! I just finished a quilt for my daughter that took 7 years total from start to finish...I understand how sometimes the process is longer than we'd like with projects. But, I have more started...:)Iron Girl!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18290069923554586758noreply@blogger.com
