Cakes and Quilts by Chelle

My great grandmother was an avid quilter.  Back in those days they had quilting bees and salvaged fabric.  I was given one of her precious quilts when I was child and as I got older I thought that it was such a blessed piece of history as well as a piece of her.  After I had my first child, I wanted to give her the same blessing (Although I had a LOT to learn on how to make a quilt).

My other blessing came from our family birthdays growing up.  Always a party and always a homemade cake.  So again, I wanted to share this blessing with my children.

As a daughter of two very artistic and creative parents, the sky was the limit with anything i thought to make up as a kid.  So why stop now?  Do to the space constraints of my house, I had to limit my creativity to two things: Cakes and Quilts.  What could be better anyway?  My day job as an electrical engineer equips me with some problem solving techniques which is really needed when I, like my fellow engineers, do first and then read the instructions.  Oh well, here is the good, the yummy, and the flops....
