It has been really fun to follow along with them through my sister's emails and blog posts. She seems like such a special girl and I can't wait to meet her. Unfortunately that won't be until August when we head out to Oregon to visit family.
Until then, I'm working on a quilt for her. It's my way of connecting. The anticipation of her seeing this quilt for the first time just makes me smile as I work on it.
Here's a little preview. I'm nearly done with the quilt top and will start soon on the back and quilting it all together. I used all fabrics that I had in my stash, which was challenging yet very satisfying. I designed it on paper myself and I'll explain the significance of it all later (although those of you who follow her blog can probably guess it).
I love the applique. I still haven't taken the time to learn how to do that yet. Another one of those things on the to do list. :)
