The Quilt

Around Christmas, my mom gave Piper her quilt, which though big, isn't nearly as immense as this snapshot makes it seems. I set Piper in the center but by the time I took the picture, she was nearly out of the frame.


I set Piper down to pick some pecks of pickled peppers. (How many did she pick?)


Finally, my favorite part... I love the whole quilt, but the best part is the piper sewn in the center. Mom asked Debbie to draw a piper so she could use it for a template, and it is perfect. I love it, and when Piper's big enough to know, she'll love it, too.

    Sarah,
    You're making a habit of these threats, but so far, I've seen no action. And I told Mom about your comment. You're right; she has no idea!

    Molly,
    Thank you!

    When I saw this, I gasped so loud COrynn thought something was wrong and came running to save the day.

    THis. quilt. is. AMAZING.

    I've always had to fight the green monster when I would see the handmade with LOVE quilts your Mom makes the girls, but this one takes the cake. It practically comes right out of my dreams!

    I love that your mother personalizes each one. Piper. Susannah's wren. I think you take after her in that way, making gifts for your children that are so....THEM.
