A Quilting Adventure

This month we started a new adventure--quilting!

Thanks to a great lady, whom we'll call Ms. Kathryn, Georgie is learning so much about the art of quilting, and so am I.  Our plan is to meet with Ms. Kathryn at least once a month and make a quilt square, each based on Georgie's favorite book that month.

Ms. Kathryn supplied Georgie with fabric pens, and Georgie drew the cover to this month's favorite, Zero the Hero. 

At the end of the year, she will have made a quilt representing each month of her 6th year, and by the time she's 6, it should be finished. At least, that's the goal.

Ms. Kathryn had the idea of making the borders out of different strips of fabric, maybe even made out of some of her clothes, and sewing or writing the titles of books on the strips so that they look like book spines. Great idea!

A book quilt is thoroughly Georgie. I can't wait to have it, but will enjoy the journey immensely.
