The next day, we were supposed to visit some friends in Wichita, but those plans fell through, so we made a quick adjustment and drove to Salina to visit my old roommate, as well as my sister and her husband. It was so great to see them all. Oh, and Karen always has something right up my alley when I come to visit. She said she had a “project” for me. I know how some of Karen’s projects are—ask Erik and take a tour of her “house project.” : ) She assured me that it was a small one, and would be no big deal. She was right…it was painting some small canvases…so I’m interested to see how they turn out when they are put up. DISCLAIMER: I am nor have ever been an artist. But I can sure spread some colors around on canvas and make them look ok-or at least I think so! But I do not plan on taking up that type of a job any time soon.
That night we drove to Wichita to have Christmas with my family. After Carl got off of work, we began the exchange. I was so excited when Carl opened the present from Chris and I (yes—Chris too, he was my moral support when I was going insane working on this big project). See Quilt Below:
I have had this project in progress since I graduated high school in 2004! Suddenly, I was in college and busy…amazing how life can really get away from your projects that you started once upon a time. When we were living in KC, I decided that I would have time to work on it again and that Christmas 2008, was the year I was going to finish it. So on the evening of December 25, 2008, I completed Carl’s Quilt. (With the Help of my mother in law!) Carol hand-stitched the patch for me. THANKS CAROL!!
