Gift Giving
My daughter had so much fun making a quilt for her teacher’s new baby. While it took a little time to finish the baby girl certainly hadn’t had time to outgrow it, although originally it was going to be a little bit smaller but we thought we had better add a few rows. She did a great job and her teacher and his wife very very pleased with their gift. The stitcheries were of a dog, duck, cow & squirrel however they haven’t shown up well on the photo.
Now this quilt is for my niece’s 21st Birthday and it is finally finished!!! Just a little late for her 22nd Birthday (can you tell I don’t like to rush things!!!!!) but just in time before she heads off to London for 2 years to start her career as a teacher. She probably could do with a nice warm quilt considering where she is heading.
I really should have finished it sooner considering it was pre-printed and only involved me adding borders, however the stitchery I included on it did take a little time. Her favourite colour is purple so I hope she likes the hint of purple in the quilt. Now I just have to hope she doesn’t have time in all her packing frenzy to read my blog before she opens her gift.
Stay tuned for my next post (you’ll be surprised at how soon it may be!!!!)
