Learning a new hobby

For those that don't know, Malmstrom AFB has been going through a huge inspection (called a Nuclear Surety Inspection) over the last few weeks to make sure the base could be ready in an emergency or to make sure that they can handle increased security. Because of that, Nick has had to work long hours, including weekends. Since I haven't seen much of him lately, I decided to learn a new hobby! My friend Amber has been teaching me how to quilt. It's something I've always wanted to learn, but either didn't have the time, or didn't know of someone who was able to teach me. Now I have no excuses!

My first project was a throw quilt to use in the baby's room on those long nights that I'm sure I will be up rocking the baby in the middle of the night. :) I chose a simple block pattern and with Amber's help, was able to construct a pretty darn nice quilt, if I do say so myself! Since we don't know the sex of the baby, I went with neutral colors and have since decided that I eventually want to decorate the nursery in those same three colors: sage green, white, and chocolate brown.
