This quilt is truly a work of love. Sandy started this 'block of the month' quilt when she learned of her daughter's pregnancy. She even went so far as to badger the block kit supplier to get her the full set earlier than planned so she could get this made as close to the birth of Jackson as possible.Take a close look at the detail on the quilt - each piece is carefully appliqued and the execution is perfect. All we had to do was quilt it in a way which enhanced and brought out her piecing.
We had an extra treat when Sandy came to pick up the quilt. I got to meet Jackson and spend some reminiscing time with his Mom, Shelli, too. Jackson (who you've met in an earlier post) is now almost 3 months old with a vibrant smile, blue eyes and red hair. He is clearly the light of his Mom and Cha-Cha's life (what a great grandma name that is!!!). I wish I had taken a picture of him so you could see what I am talking about.
We truly love what we do - bringing quilts to life. And as an added extra benefit, we get to meet great people and hear such life-filling stories. To quote myself 'every quilt has a story'. We love to hear them all. Come tell us more.
