Stitch by Stitch

I have almost completed Kalee's birthday quilt. It is bright and colorful and I have named it "Bee Happy". I am excited it give her something handmade for her first birthday!

While choosing fabric for her quilt, I found some colors for mine which will be named "Bohemidippity"...my new favorite word. After reviewing over a dozen books with quilt patterns, I decided to go simple on both to make it more pleasant and less stressful. I usually knit in the cold months and quilt in the warmer ones. Its surely a form of Zen mediation. If a pattern requires too much focus and becomes work, why bother. Hobbies should be fun, not taxing, in my opinion. With quilting, it all looks good so the pattern doesn't always have to be too complex.
Simplicity, serendipity, bohemidippty....I sense a theme!
