Not *those*girls! But you see, they both insist on being on top of things.
A dear friend that I grew up with commissioned me to make these for her daughters. Memory clothes quilts are always special, but the pieces included on these quilts might be considered extra special, as some of these clothes are the ones my friend's daughters came with, and some were worn when first memories together were made. My friend's family celebrated their adoption anniversary this month! :-)
Here's the first! Ta-da!
Just kidding. That's what happened when I asked Nick to hold the quilt up for me. Uh huh. Nice, nice.
Here's the better shot:
Ohhhhhhhhhh....now we have a boy and his butt in the picture!!! Even better!
The pink quilt is for the younger daughter, and the purple for the older---their favorite colors.
Hey, look! We got a bunny!
I quilted the purple one with the meandering squares:
And the pink is quilted in the dogwood style. I love quilting this pattern and figured this would be a snap! But this quilt gave me so much trouble!
Whenever someone says about the kids, "They'll go to bed early tonight," or "Betcha they sleep well tonight," I always tell them that I don't make those kinds of predictions anymore. Lol. I guess the same could go for quilts. There is just no predicting how they will behave!
And for your viewing pleasure, a non-butt picture!
It is always such an honor to make memory quilts for people. I feel so blessed to be a part of something so special in people's lives. :-)
