I cannot even stop staring! Today I am extra grateful for my quilt photographer @megsaenz We went on a quilt photo shoot around town over the weekend and I just got some pix back! The texture and quilting really shines thru on this picture! 🤩 #evolvequilt #quiltsinthewild #newquiltpattern #kileysquiltroom #kileysquiltroompatterns

I’m grateful that my job is also my hobby! I’m grateful for my creativity and the outlet from stress that it provides. #givethanks

Today I am thankful for the opportunity I’ve had

Today I am thankful for the opportunity I’ve had to travel to some beautiful places and to have made wonderful memories there. I love to travel! I love to explore new places! What a blessing it is that we live on such a beautiful planet! These are some of my favorites! #givethanks

I am grateful to live in a historically rich area!

I am grateful to live in a historically rich area! I LOVE living in a place that has so much historical meaning everywhere I turn. We live near Harper’s Ferry WV and Antietam Battlefield. There are evidences of the Civil War everywhere! This home was built some 250 years ago- and although it stands in disarray now- I like to imagine what it was like in its prime (it was once a home of refuge for union soldiers)! #givethanks #quiltsinthewild #starweavequilt

I will be taking the next week to dedicate to all

I will be taking the next week to dedicate to all the things I am grateful for. First and foremost is my family! I love these 4 babies more than life itself. And my husband... I can’t imagine doing life without him. He makes me a better person and he supports and loves me no matter what my next crazy idea is. I could go on and on- but I’ll spare you. The point is. I am so grateful for this family of mine. #givethanks

I hope you all have found some way to relate to my 2020 journey (read thru the last couple of posts to catch up on the story behind this quilt). I think we all have a unique perspective and story to tell about this year! I would love to hear how you feel you have evolved! Comment below 👇🏼 I want to hear about it!

Swipe to see the full view of my new #evolvequilt I am so excited about this quilt pattern! This year has been one for the history books, for sure! We have all changed as individuals and as a nation and even humanity as a whole!

I am proud of who I have become this year as the trials have shaped me into who I am and who I am yet to become.

I hope that you too will look back on this year and see your own journey of evolution!

Let’s love and celebrate who we are now and the changes that have brought us to this point.

“Growth and comfort do not coexist”

I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I have!

Block #5 This is the final block! As we come to a

Block #5 This is the final block! As we come to a close on the year 2020, I would like to think that I am better now than I was at the beginning. I have learned so much about myself. It has been a year of self inspection for individuals around the world and also for our country as a whole.

So much fear and hate, wrong-doings, crimes, blame, divisions, and negativity this year. How did you handle it? Have you walked through this fire with grace? Did you falter here and there? I certainly did. But the more important question is- Have you come out the other side a better person?

I have evolved this year. Have you?

I became a mother of four. I learned to let some things go that I can’t control or don’t NEED to control. I am learning how to advocate for one of my children who struggles with ADD. I grew my business. I started something new. I deepened connections with friends and family. I offered service. I asked for help. I evolved

Block #4 Have you ever seen the movie “Collateral Beauty”? If there is one thing I want to take away from 2020- it is the collateral beauty.

I gave birth during a pandemic to my 4th child. No one except my husband was allowed to be with me. However, it was intimate. It was spiritual. It was a moment in time I would never take back.

We lost my grandfather during this pandemic (not due to COVID-19) and no one was allowed to attend the funeral except his own children. But family and friends were able to connect and support us virtually- in a way I never would have foreseen.

We usually have packed summers full of activities and adventures. But this summer was spent all at home. Even tho we didn’t do much, I felt the peace and tranquillity of less stress and more focus on family. It was kind of nice having nothing to do while navigating the waters of newborn life.

There have been sickening atrocities throughout our country regarding race and politics. But then there has also been a huge outpouring of love, compassion, and support for these causes.

I refuse to look at this year as a waste. Instead- I choose to see the collateral beauty. What good has come from this year? What changes have been for the better? How are we as a society evolving for the better? I have no doubt that 2021 will bring all sorts of collateral beauty.

Block #3 What plans did Covid-19 ruin for you in 2

Block #3 What plans did Covid-19 ruin for you in 2020? Since we up and left for Utah when things started shutting down, we ended up being there for almost a month. As things escalated all over the country we were worried we would end up getting stuck there 😦 Flights were being cancelled left and right and airlines were grounding their aircrafts in droves. At this point I was into my third trimester and worried about getting stuck and delivering in a state and with doctors I am unfamiliar with.

On top of all this, I was suddenly tasked with overseeing my children’s education... you guys... there is a REASON I did not become a school teacher. It is NOT my thing. So between pulling my hair out over remote learning for my 3 kids and being hugely pregnant with my 4th... I was in rough shape. I just wanted to be home. So we quickly figured a way home.

I have NEVER seen such an empty airport or airplane. It was like an eerie ghost town that you would expect to see tumble weeds rolling thru. 👀

Luckily, we made it home safe and sound. We managed to finish off the school year remotely. Now I can (try to) breath and focus on prepping for baby and delivery.

But what will that look like? The pandemic has changed how everything is being done. Society is changing and evolving in ways that may never be undone. Is it for the better? Is it for the worse? Are we overreacting? Are we not being serious enough? What will our world look like when this is over? Will it ever be over?

“If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, and crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously.” Dr Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park.

Block #2 Where were you when the country started

Block #2 Where were you when the country started shutting down? I remember it was a bright sunny spring day. People were freaking out at the grocery store that morning. I had a hard time getting everything I needed. I thought it was all so ridiculous and people needed to calm down! I was in my kitchen putting groceries away when I got the phone call from the kids’ schools. Shock. I couldn’t believe things were really this bad!

We had been planning a trip to Utah for spring break to visit family in a few weeks. But now that schools and jobs were suddenly remote, we decided to move up our trip and we left the next day.

I have never seen such hysteria throughout the country in my lifetime. And I don’t feel like the hysteria has subsided, only shifted focus. ...and yet... we keep living. We keep moving forward one step at a time.

In the words of Anna from Frozen 2 “the next right thing to do” is sometimes the best we can do.

Block #1 What did the beginning of 2020 look like

Block #1 What did the beginning of 2020 look like for you? I rang in the new year hovering over a toilet 🤢 I was just coming out of my first trimester with kid #4. I pictured a beautiful birth. I pictured having a photographer at the hospital to capture the sacred moments of meeting our baby for the first time. I pictured attending my kids grade level graduations. I pictured the excited of my son entering Kindergarten with his buddies and having the time of his life. I pictured growth, happiness, and love... which I DID ultimately get. Just not in the ways I thought. But we adapt. We evolve. We strengthen. #evolvequilt #kileysquiltroom #kileysquiltroompatterns
