When I started grad school in May of 2009, I soon discovered that I would not be spending so many weekends backpacking and camping in out-of-the-way, internet-free areas. I would be spending a lot of weekends at home, doing homework and reading. I needed to find a new hobby, one that could be done at home, in very short stretches of time. I had always wanted to make a quilt. I don't know why - I was not great with sewing (yes, it WAS the only class I ever got a failure slip in, go figure), and I'm certainly not a patient person. Maybe it was just my love of great bedding.
At any rate, I decided to make a quilt for my godson Aiden for his baptism. This frog quilt was my very first quilt and very first sewing project since Junior High. It's very simple, and I'm sure full of mistakes. But it was also full of love, in more ways than one.

I love the froggies! This is one of my favorite quilts of yours that I've seen! I just love your quilts though. They are so functional and comfy and personal
