Lighthouse Quilt

I have been toying with the idea of making my dear grandmother a light house quilt for some time now but every pattern I came across just seemed so complicated I gave up before I even attempted it! I even thought maybe I could make my own pattern ... Then I realized that would be even more complicated!!! So I put the idea on a back burner..

But with my grandmothers 75th birthday coming up I knew I wanted to do something light house related, as she loves them! For years she's been getting light house calendars, lighthouse puzzles, lighthouse coffee mugs, lighthouse books .... She hasn't said it but really how many coffee cups can one have with a picture of a lighthouse on it? She must be getting tired of it!

So, one day while aimlessly walking the aisles of a thrift store back in February I came across light house embroidery squares! And so, a light house quilt began! I did all the embroidery (12 squares) while watching tv at night and then sewed it all together in about two days! I'm happy with the results and Even happier that she loved it!

I love my Grammy and hope she enjoys Her new quilt :)

Also, I gave her a bar of honey oatmeal goat milk soap i made and she thought it was a cookie and almost took a bite!!!! So now my next mission is to make labels for my soap bars!!!!
