What a weekend we had! First I delivered the Desert Stars quilt to our oldest and his fiance (which it makes my year that they love it so much!), today I got the backlog of mail we had on hold and I received the quilt from my partner, Carmel Lewis, for the Doll Quilt Swap. I absolutely adore it! I got a little teary even (strange response, but it just hit me).
I love everything about it. I am also an orange lover, so it's perfect. Carmel handquilted it along with the embroidery. Isn't it sweet? I might have gotten teary eyed because I always sing "You are my Sunshine" to the kids (and hubby), so the phrase Carmel chose was wonderful. Such a great day!
This is awesome Mel! She did a great job. I'm glad you had a good trip and the quilt was so well received!
ReplyDeleteI saw the picture of the Couple with the quilt around them! It sure was a HIT! This quilt is perfect for you. I used to sing that song with my mother, she tried to teach me to sing harmony. It would have made me teary too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mini. Great swap you had.
ReplyDeleteThis doll quilt is just too adorable for words! I love it and may make one for myself - as if I need any more! I have participated in many of Lori's QALs, but didn't this time because we were planning a trip and in fact, I'm in FL right now instead of OR where I live having moved there last Aug. from TX. I am going to start following your blog on bloglovin! I'm going to look up your DJ quilt as I'm working on one now.
ReplyDeleteIt really is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand your response, your quilt is absolutely wonderful! And when someone puts this effort into something just for you it is a wonderful feeling!! I actually felt the same when I opened mine!
ReplyDeleteLove the embroidery! What a neat idea.
