Quotable Quote


" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Monsters and Cupcakes

I have been working frantically trying to get this monster quilt done for my new nephew Learick! We got to go down on Friday and meet him. He is dark and ADORABLE! He is half Columbian and 1/8 Mexican. Love it!
Ava and I had a great time combining a few different appliques to make
her a little monster girly. Gracie even pitched in and decided we could
use a whale spout for the pony tail.

Learick Samuel Webber

This is little Learick Samuel. Yes I'm looking divine aren't I? Hunchback don't have nothin' on me!

The lady that sales the appliques names them. This is Humphrey. 

This is Spike.

This is Chunk the Cave Monster. He started out with two arms but wouldn't fit
 so I had to perform surgery and get rid of one. It is tedious work sewing around every eye,
tooth, mouth etc... but it gives me time to just zone out and think.

 I made the quilt below for a darling girl that was just recently adopted from Bulgaria. I contacted her mom and she said she would adore having a little rag quilt for her. You can read about her story here. You can also find more of the adorable applique patterns here.
