One down 2 to go.......this is Fairy Girls quilt and she is so excited about
it..........I have just finished the binding and went down and pulled her
other quilt of and put this one on her.....she will be so happy when she
wakes in the morning and finds it on her bed..........Carey did a great job

quilt for "brothy" (book worm)........just let me get over this one I
say.........

Terrific quilt, you'd better be careful Donna, Fairygirl just may take over your sewing room and machine.

Jeanne said...

Beautiful quilt! Thanks for sharing.

Candace said...

And why wouldn't she be excited. It's beautiful. I'm sure you are a proud mama, and what a sweet thought to have her wake up with it on her bed.

Gorgeous quilt! I love the branch just at the right height to drape a quilt over it too!! I guess that's the beauty of some farms... we don't have many trees left.... tractors and trees don't mix very well!! You should be proud - you've all done a beautiful job! :) What a talented Fairy Girl you have there too

Lucky Bookworm. Fairy Girls quilt is gorgeous. And what a lovely surprise to find it on her bed when she wakes up.

Ginger Patches said...

Absolutely Gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see what she makes for Bookworm. Isn't fun when your daughter quilts? Well except when they take over the sewing machine at the same time you want to use it :)

Love the colours! Fairy Girl is very lucky to have a very special quilt made by you, her mum. Do you label your quilts? I haven't as yet but think I probably should. Photo as always looks great. Now that picture would make a nice card front I reckon. Jo x

Lucky lucky fairygirl. It is a beautiful quilt indeed. I must get back to finishing a few of mine off instead of inventing new projects!!

Well done to both you and fairy girl. What a beautiful memory you have helped create for fairy girl, one I'm sure she will always treasure. The colours in the quilt stand out really well against the backdrop, good choice of props. Evonne.
