A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2006 surprise baby quilt delivered!!

Today when I got home my Sister called and asked me if I got a box delivered??! HMMMMM Let me go see
Well I opened the front door and there sat a box, from her. Still on the phone she told me it for My Daughter that had a boy -Julian on May 1.
Loooook!! Look what she made for Julian..!!
I told her his nursery was decorated with Winnie the Pooh and she gets after 'it on her sewing machine and made him this!!
It has Blue stripes on one side, yellow stripes on the other side and is just Darling!
She even embroidered his name and Date of birth,, I thought his name was appliqued on but she did this on her machine COOOOOOOOOLLLL!
(The machine is cool too}

My Daughter Jasmine will love this from her Auntie!!
I will give it to her tomarrow!!..
Thanks Sis for making My grandson's first Quilt!

Awww, what a sweet surprise.....That's something your daughter can keep forever. It looks really nice! Your sister did a great job!

Thanks,Sis, for putting this out for all to see.
I hope my niece loves it!

Yes, his name is embroidered on, not appliqued. The quilt was made with a serger and the only parts done on a sewing machine were the embroidery and the blue border.

This quilt was quick and easy but, as your older and wiser sister, I'll never tell you that!

jayhawk, that is beautiful! diane, you have a very talented sister!!

Thanks Jiffy.

Loz, I'm sure my niece will keep this forever. She better! Thanks for your compliment.

well, i do have to say, i think the specialness runs in the family because i think diane is pretty special herself! she has sure made my day more than once!! thank you both for sharing.

As the older and wiser sister, I must admit my talents may be different than my sister's but not necessarily better.

i don't think there is any such thing as better talents, jayhawk, just different

Ahhhhh Shucks Jiffy


This family we have here is Pretty darn special too that's why we feel comfortable sharing our surprises and complimenting each others talents alllll over here.

I can't wait to see Jasmine' face tomarrow , she will be sooo pleased ,, Btw Julian's eyes are truely a dark Blue almost like a deep clear ocean blue. And we have found when he gets upset for no appearent reason the only way to get him to calm him down is to pick him up and take him outside even if it's just stepping outside the door He calms down, stops crying and is content.

HMMMM could it be he takes after his Grandma Didi
the love of outdoors???Hmmmmmm

Diane that is a pretty quilt. Jayhawk you do great work. My sister has one of those fancy sewing machines.

How special!!

Well I gave Jasmine her quilt today!! Her eyes got big as saucers and called her Auntie right away!.. She simply Loved it and will charish it for years to come,,
