Painting, Quilting, Tarting…

Thanks to Ben and his read aloud skills I have been able have Enders Game and Enders Shadow read to me as I finished up two quilts! One for Alice’s reconstructed from two crib quilts I made for her as a babe. Once they outgrow those itty beds those quilts are not so useful. So, I combinded the two into one. Yay to be useful again!
