The Joy Cottage: I Need To Make a Quilt

Quilts. It's how I got started in this crazy business.

This was the first quilt I ever made. It was for Gavin and he was about 6 months old at the time. It's not pieced together that well and the binding is terrible but now at 3 years old, he loves that quilt more than any other blanket we have for him. He used to bite the corners of it when he was a toddler to soothe himself to sleep. Now he uses the quilt to cover up his Big Bear (his favorite stuffed blue bear) while he's sleeping or wants it on the ground when we have our picnics in the living room. When we tuck him in on cold nights, he wants his quilt to be on him first before we can put on the other warm blankets. Only 3 years with this quilt but already so many memories of it.

I had to incorporate his quilt with his 3 year old pictures. I will cherish these memories forever.

I also made this summer quilt for him which he also loves. It's nice and thin for those warm nights in Texas.

After I made his first quilt, I got bit by the quilting bug. Now all I ever want to do is make quilts for others. The feelings I receive with my son and his quilt is the feeling I want to be able to share with others. The feeling of joy.

I am finishing up a lot of my quilt orders this month and I will able to take more orders. Can I create this feeling of joy for you?

Me, oh Please, me! I pray that I am 1st. I have been drooling (not literally) and I even Pinned one of them! Joy, would you make a quilt for me if I provide the fabric and thread? I have terminal cancer and while I want to quilt, I cannot see to sew. I have tumors on my brain stem which have caused a lot of vision loss. But, it hasn't messed up my love for beautiful fabrics! I am hoping to move to be near my Mom, who lives in ARK.. I live in MN. We need each other! I simply cannot move with all of the fabric I have accumulated. I would be very interested in giving you some for your shop. You can visit my blog and/or email me directly. My email is jo moseley 57 at gmail dot com. I hope to hear from you. I have to tell you that this post and the 3rd Birthday photos made me cry. What a Precious Boy you have! I love how he is so attached to his quilt! All of your work is lovely. I'm a new Follower! Hugs!

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I love reading all of them!
