Domestic Bliss

As of late I have been super stressed out with school and work so to get away from all of that I do what I call domestic bliss. In the past I have cooked, or cleaned, or what not. This next couple weeks I will be making a blanket for my sister in law, Mandee and little baby, she is having a little boy so I get to make him a blanket. It is so freaking cute. I sat here putting the quilt on the quilting frames and I just was so happy and not at all stressed about things I need to do for school. I loved it! It also makes me feel happy because it connects me to my ancestors. Not alot has changed for the quilting world in the last hundred years, you still have to do it by hand and set it up on quiliting frames. It just brings my mind to a simpler time, and it is so relaxing. I am just so grateful to my mom and grandma for keeping these traditions alive in me so that I can teach them to my kids and grandkids, I know they are becoming a lost art but they will not in my household, I plan on teaching my kids each of these things, and I will show them all the things that I made. Well that is all for now. I won't post a picture of the quilt yet, I will show it once I give it to Mandee, I want her to see it in person before she sees it on my blog. Well ta ta for now.
