Sleeping in Beauty

How blessed are these four little girls to have a quilter for a grandma?  Store bought blankets have, and will, never adorn the cribs and beds of these girls.  Oh no!  They get soft, intricately detailed, personalized quilts embedded with love in every stitch.

Each quilt tells it's own story and fits the girl it was made for with colors and patterns that reflect their fabulous array of personalities and attitudes!!!

As the edges fray, from years of snuggles and comfort, the patterns fade and evidence of being washed so many times from the trails of childhood become more obvious, I know these quilts will always be treasured by each one of them.

Skyla gets her special BIG Girl quilt!



Trinity felt so special when she got her quilt.

Lana was Sooooo excited to get soft things.  Lana loves...  I mean really loves soft things and Grandma always puts very soft minke fabric on the back of all the girls quilts.

Journey was able to join the ranks this week with her brand new BIG girl quilt too.  She loves that her name is on it and grandma made it just for her.

Thank you Grandma Kathy for such special gifts that the girls will always know their grandma made special just for them.

Wow. WOW! I'm counting up the hours and years those took to complete. And those aren't standard quilts! They are custom. UNREAL. As a sewer, I can tell you...this is an unreal feat. Lucky girls!

It really is Lori! Between customers she fits these in and they all have smaller quilts from their crib days as well. Brian and I have a few and she has three other grandchildren she does this for! She is a busy lady, but she loves it.
