A nice surprise!


Jan called this morning.
She finished the quilt and was in the neighborhood.


Here is the quilt and here is Laura
with blue hair.


And here is the quilt, sure to be extra warm
from its wool batt and velour backing.
Almost too thick to quilt, but doable.
Thanks, Aunt Janice!

  17. Love the smile on Laura’s face, equal parts of pleasure and pride in a job well done. Blue color and denim fabric can’t be beat.

  20. Love that smile. This is a heirloom quilt. Made special with all those jeans but especially grandmas jeans. Lots of lessons learned from grandma tho sometimes my grand kids i think it goes in one ear and out the other.
