T shirt quilt and Sweater

Christmas 2008 - I knitted a sweater for Elizabeth - my first! and so far my last. And for Ben, I took some of his old tshirts, including one with Cookie Monster (that his Grandpa John had given him as a baby), and made him a quilt. I had more fun that Christmas!

Beginning

This piece was my FIRST EVER piece of embroidery. It was for my mother for Mother's Day and she kept it! Amazing. The words say: "For Mommy, For the wonderful home you gave me to love and cherish my whole life through. All my love, Janet"

It began

I was about 8. My best friend's grandmother, Nana, taught me to embroider. I was hooked. Ever since then, my passion has been to work with my hands, creating - embroidery, crosstitch, crewel, knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking,crafting of all sorts. Always making things for those I love. It is somehow inextricably linked with who I am in Christ. Sharing these things with those who know, and don't know, Jesus. I was MADE FOR THIS.
