I still was making sure I knew how to do the log cabin and made this quilt for the living room in the pinks and greens I had tried to make that first quilt on my own. I felt like I really had this log cabin pattern well into my head as to the process of making the blocks now. This quilt I call my 'cross and star' pattern quilt. For me it was my faith in God and in the ability of my girls and me, and of my husband too, to faithfully get through this next hurdle. The funny thing was that once my husband said he wanted out, a couple months later he said something to the affect of ... Kathy you know I love you guys and I'm sorry that I just don't know how to have the strength to live with your disability and our situation but I want to keep trying. I want to stay married and be with you guys. I was happy! My prayers were answered!
This quilt took me 2 days to make! BUT I'd put aside everything else I was supposed to do in order to get it done. I felt that this star on the outside was my guiding star, and the cross on this inside was God's ear to our needs! AND it sure looked better as a quilt in our living room, than my first attempt at quilting had. I displayed both quilts with pride though in that room! I felt like I was on my way, one piece of fabric, one quilt at a time, my brain was healing and our lives were being stitched together in the process, wherever it took us!
shoot dr apt I will finish this later....
