Our Daughter's Birthday Present.

I was sure that I had taken photos of 
this quilt before I put it in the mail,


but I guess I didn't,

because I can't find them anywhere. 
 I guess that happens.
I was so afraid of posting them too
early and spoiling the surprise.
 

Best of all  . . .
I got it finished and mailed in time for her birthday :)
It doesn't matter how old our daughters
become, they are always our 
sweet little girls :)

Have A Happy Day
&
Keep Smiling.

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)

    What a gorgeous quilt! You are right Connie....it doesn't matter how old they get...:) I can't wait to see Miranda in December! Does your daughter live far from you? Do you get to see her very often? She is a blessed lady to have a Mama as sweet and precious as you. I know she is going to be thrilled with that quilt too. I love the fabrics you chose...so fun and colorful! Hope your week is going well. I was off today and got so much done that I have been needing to get to. Have a delightful Thursday my friend.

    Hugs, Vicky

      Hi Vicky, She lives too far away for a weekend trip . . . it is about an eleven hour drive straight through and we need to make a few stops, driving that far :) Then again, it's not near as far away as your daughter. I'm sure it was refreshing having a day off in the middle of the week, maybe you won't have so much to do this weekend and you can get out and have a little fun :) Happy weekend!

      Hi Susie, does your mother-in-law like her frame. It took me about five tries the first time I loaded fabric on to it . . . but after I finally figured it out I love it :) It's nice being able to tuck it away when I'm not using it.

      I love her as a women and I'm so proud of her for all of her accomplishments, but there is still that little girl there that I want to hug much more than a grown woman would appreciate, LOL

    Hi Connie, Very pretty. So special too because you hand quilted it. I am sure she loved it!! Did you quilt in the ditch or a design? Nancy

      Hi Nancy, I quilted it with a little bit of everything. I'm truly a freelancer and don't use a pattern.

      Thank you, I know that my daughter loves happy colors and I thought this would brighten up any gloomy winter day and be a good quilt to wrap up in while reading a good book. Now that she is finally finished with text books, she should have time for pleasure reading again :)

      Hi Zenia, thank you for stopping by to visit. Yes it is hand-quilted. I enjoy the quietness of hand-quilting . . . I don't do all of my quilts by hand, but most.
      I am delighted that you like it :)

      Well, I do my best . . . parenting is a learning process, we all know that :) Life it's self is a test . . . we learn to be independent, then we learn how to live as a couple, then a family, and then it reverts back to a couple again. That's the class that I'm in now. They all come with joys and sorrows, and triumphs and losses. Isn't Life Wonderful!

      Hi Linda, she called after she got it but silly me, I had put my phone on the charger and went to town. I'm sure that she loves it and will call back this weekend. I'm delighted that you think it is beautiful :)

    Connie, the quilt is so beautiful! I love it! I am sure your daughter loved it too!
    There is just nothing like a homemade gift, it means so much more than something bought at a store!
    A very special Birthday gift indeed!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

      Thank you, Carol, there is a lot of energy in those colors and she is an adventurous gal. She's a kayaker like yourself; in fact she was teaching kayaking when she was carrying our first granddaughter :)
