Sarah's other trip around the world...
Isn't she well traveled? She made this quilt for my second DD, Rebekah. Wasn't that a great gift? She also brought me a box of my favorite chocolates. I'm conflicted about which gift I liked the best... Abraham uses the quilt now, and he loves it, too. So the quilt is definitely longer lasting the the pound of chocolate I snarfed down in about two days- hey, I was pacing myself! She made this quilt before we had bought the quilting machine, so it is tied- and it has held up amazingly well. Notice the surprising color combination- I'm afraid it was only the beginning of an apparently life-long obsession. I fuel the fire, as I bought her several yards of blue and yellow, only yesterday. And doesn't she put them together well? It isn't broken, so I don't suggest she fix it. I only like teasing her about it- as she does my affinity for all things orange.

I still remember the day Lucy came over to help me figure out how to tie this quilt. I couldn't have quilted it even if we had the machine since I would have had my big ole' Ian belly in the way! I am going to mail your package of fabric today! A person needs goals you know!

Love, Sarah

I like the yellow blue. I am thinking of doing one myself this year and it is an inspiration to me.
