scrappy quilt


Amanda and I are taking a Scrap Quilt class!  I love it.  The scraps I have are mostly extra material from napkin sets that Beth's made over the past few years.  So a lot of the material reminds me of her and of the folks who now own and use the napkins :o).  It's been super fun to hang out and sew with Amanda, and to remember the times I've sewn before: dress-making with Grandmom in KY, quilting for Mima - who was an extraordinary quilter - with the rest of the Herde/Amshoff ladies...  The colors are a great antidote for the winter blahs; I love to just spread the finished squares all over the carpet and dig in to making new ones.  Thanks for the idea, Amanda!
