Birthday Quilt

posted in a little bit of everything |

I have the best mom in the whole world! She arrived at my house last night after driving 2 days from Arizona. Today, she handed me a big bag and told me it was my birthday present. I was so excited, I ripped it open and found one of the most beautiful quilts I’ve ever seen. She machine pieced it and hand quilted it, making it even more special because she doesn’t hand quilt as much as she used to. I am soooo happy!

Sorry this isn’t the best picture, I was in a hurry and didn’t notice the pillow sticking out! I just couldn’t wait to share!

    This is a very nice gift :) But the effort your mom exerted to give you this gift personally is more admirable :)

    Who cares for that pillow sticking out. In fact I didn’t notice until you wrote about it. :)

    Your bed looks so wonderful now!!
