Quilt pic for Betsy

[Betsy the Quilter]

DS finally sent those pictures for me. 

This is what he said
"Hi Mom,
Here are the quilt pics for you.  Of course, as soon as I laid it on the
ground she (and Doozer) came straight over to play so getting a picture with
her on it was no problem at all.  Getting her to look at the camera
however...  I'll work on a nice portrait of her with it soon which is only
right since she spends half her life warmed and comforted by it - her
special piece of Grandma ****'s love!"

Here they are.....

Cat--

Gorgeous quilt, so soft and loving.  It makes ME want to cuddle up in it.  The label is so well done, too.

It's soooo important to label the quilts so that the origins of the quilt are known for future generations. (Although baby quilts rarely survive, if they are used.)  Great job!

Cat, Baeutiful quilt.

Oh, that is gorgeous. I bet that baby is gorgeous too. I wish we could see her face.

Thanks for your kind words.  I chose a real easy project to start.  I have 2 other tops completed but it seems I am not as intrigued by the sandwiching and finishing process as I am by making the tops!

I am hoping that this quilt will survive a long time but it is more important that it is well used by my granddaughter.  That is why I made it for her.

I figured out the need for a proper label during my research of quilting.  It not only documents the quilt but it is your signature as well.

I'll post more pictures when I get around to finishing my projects.

Wow - I was born in St. John's Newfoundland also! but back in 1954 (lol)
what a beautiful inscription - so full of love.

Newfoundland is a great place.  Isabelle is a lucky little girl to be born and raised there with her Newfoundland Family.  I know she will be surrounded by love and happiness and there is little else I would want for her (other than to be with me more!  ).

I'm loving all the quilt pics! I just started quilting a few months ago, myself

Here's one I recently made for my younger son, Eli:



And here he is posing with it
