A Christmas Surprise

This quilt was a surprise for my daughter.
She visits my blog  . . . so, I couldn't post this before Christmas.

There was no way that I could possibly wrap our darling granddaughters
 in a handmade quilt,
without also wrapping a warm hug around our daughter, too.

After all; no matter how old she is, 
she will always be our little girl :)

These are the fabrics as I started to piece them together.

Here it is all quilted and getting the binding applied.
I sewed the binding to the quilt by machine and then hemmed it by hand.

Here is the finished quilt.
She has been doing yoga for at least nine years.
It's a great way to stay flexible and gain strength.
So, I choose to do a yoga theme in her quilt.

Here's a couple close ups.

The back :)

I'm enjoying my renewed love for sewing.

For so many years, by machine gathered dust
and was only used for mending.
When our daughter was young I made her school clothes
and mine as well, 
but somewhere along the line I just lost the desire to sew. 

Now, with the added time of retirement . . . 
I am enjoying it all over again :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
