Lines In Fabric

(we will be tying this soon)
 
One of my favorite household chores is ironing. I love the invigorating smells of clean laundry, and I love smoothing out wrinkles and adding crisp hot creases. I love lines. Pressed white sunday shirts, starched stiff collars, and the smell of fabric softener mixed with a good calogne is probably on my top 10 of reasons why I show up to church on Sunday.

Saturday I spent almost 9 straight hours with Laura sewing my quilt. One of my new favorite parts of quilting is ironing the back creases. The drafter in me can't get enough of the straight lines and how everything fits together. It's wonderful.

And I love the finished product. The fabrics all make me smile and look great together. My mom thinks the quilt looks like October, and I agree. But it will forever remind me of this awesome summer. And mostly hanging out with Laura in her basement bedroom, cutting out fabric, listening to hip hop, finding potato bugs crawling on my squares, eating pear quesadillas, and conversing.

What a charmed life we lead!
