When Paul's grandparents came over on Friday his grandmother brought the finished quilts for Avery. They are all beautiful and the pictures don't do them justice. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed!!
Avery's 100 Good Wishes Quilt. Grammy quilted a heart pattern on it and I found some fabric that had little Chinese girls holding parisols that we used for the backing.
This is an animal quilt piece that Aunt Kay and Uncle Larry bought and then Grammy took and quilted. I am not sure if you can see the detail but Grammy quilted elephants all over this one.
This is the quilt we made with the leftover material from the Good Wishes quilt. It is a perfect size for a security blanket.
In yesterdays post I mentioned that Paul and I visited Firework World in anticipation of our cook out this weekend. Here is the bounty we purchased:
We were like a couple of kids in a candy store. Which one goes high? Which one is bright? What does that one do? Hopefully we picked some good ones.
Saturday evening my mom came over to work a little on Avery's room. For each of her grandchildren she has made a customized crosstich print. Here is Avery's:
It has her name and then "Our Gift from God". When we recieve our referral my mom will put her birthday on it.
When we were planning the decor of the room we had purchased some wood cut-outs to paint and hang on the walls. We put those up Saturday night.
A co-worker of mine is going to come over and paint a willow tree on the wall beside the dresser.
We still have a little work to do but I think it is coming along nicely.
Thanks for checking in!!
