- quilts - my first introduction to quilting (aside from tying a quilt) was in an amish quilt shop in intercourse, pennsylvania (insert lame joke here) when i was 10 or 11 years old. my mom bought loads of fabric there and made an amazing quilt that i am in awe of. quilting is a skill i don't have...yet. some day i hope to be able to. there is something so satisfying about being wrapped up in a beautiful quilt, or putting one on your bed. i bet it's even better if you made it yourself.
- quiet - i couldn't think of a picture for this, but i guess a sleeping baby will do. some people don't like to be alone, but i love it. i love the quiet. i like getting up in the night to feed my baby because the house is silent. i like when dave takes the boys somewhere and i'm doing laundry or cleaning or even just sitting in the quiet. i don't always want things quiet--being with my boys when they're rowdy and loud is fun too--but every once in a while, quiet days are just what i need.

i love quiet. although, i like to have music on as a background noise. i do like that occasional silent time.
quilts are great, i have a nice heavy one on my bed that i love.
i have too much quiet in my life, but i do try and appreciate it, hoping that my life will not always be so quiet.
Just saw that you were featuring my yaki soba under your "recipe" side bar!! (: So great Em! Glad to see you're making it so often and that you like it so much. (:
I went to the Amish country when I was about 16 and I LOVED the quilts. I remember being amazed that they would work on one quilt by hand for about a year to finish and sell! What a talent.
Do you own all those gorgeous quilts? Quilts are up there with old fashioned baby dresses....perfection.
I am with you on the quiet. Love my kids and their chaos, but sometimes a quiet house all to myself is food for my soul.
No Jill, those quilts are from Pottery Barn (all currently on sale! Can you believe it? I want the circle one like CRAZY).
