A VERY Special Gift

Those of you who have read the blog for a while may remember when I posted about our completed 100 Good Wishes Quilt.  I was very fortunate that my Aunt Susie made this beautiful quilt for    Victoria Grace / Adisen Rylee. Good wishes quilt 1After we received our referral Susie called and said she had a new project in mind.  She had a pattern for a quilt that she wanted to do.  She asked that Ryan and I send her 20 t-shirts that mean something to us. 

I also asked my mom and my mother-in-law to contribute a t-shirt.  I new that this was going to be for Z so I thought it would be nice to have his grandparents in the quilt also.  I only sent 19 t-shirts because I hoped Sue would add a Cardinals t-shirt from her. 

For Z’s baptism Susie gave us the finished quilt:

Blurred quilt for blog I LOVE this picture!  Zac thinks that Daddy is playing ‘peek-a-boo’ with him.  You can see Zac covering his eyes.

The quilt is absolutely amazing.  Susie, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  The Good Wishes quilt I hope to give to a granddaughter one day.  I am sure Zac will treasure this quilt for years to come.  I know I will.  I can’t wait to curl up in the quilt with Zac and tell him about each and every t-shirt and why they are special.

  4. Just love the quilts. To find ones that are quilted by hand is really rare. They certainly are treasures and in such good hands. So glad you have them.
