A Latte Quilts - Lattes and a Lota Quilts

My Dear Sister-in-Law introduced me to quilting in 1992 and taught me all the basics. I didn't really get totally involved in quilting until 1998. Quilting is my "happy place" in a sometimes crazy world. My Dear Husband introduced me to coffee in 1992 (1992 was a great year!) and we've enjoyed many "happy cups" together. Now, I enjoy coffee and quilts and when I can have them together.....that's the best of times, especially when shared with loved ones.

On to the binding

Yesterday, Dear Older Daughter was home part of the day, so she held Ms. Hannah (I certainly didn't have to twist her arm) while I played with fabric. I got the binding for Dear MIL's placemats cut and sewn into one long strip. This morning I took about 20 minutes to press the binding, and now I'm ready to sew it on when the opportunity presents itself.

I've also been sneaking in a strip or two on my Off Centered Log Cabin blocks. I'm up to 56 of them.....and I ONLY need 168! I'll just keep plugging away. That's how the tortoise won the race!

Life is all about rolling with the punches, going with the flow and bending so you don't break, isn't it?? Maybe that's what this season of my life is for....to teach me to roll, go and bend! LOL

Happy Quilting!!
