It washed beautifully and is now laying on my bed:
ohmygoodness and did I mention that it is made of the softest material that I have ever slept under?? I am in love with it. Thanks dad!!
And speaking of quilts, I got the fabric for Kailey's little quilt today!! Which means that I started making it tonight, and it is darling. It is made entirely of vintage floral sheets that I got from RVA. Here is the progress that has been made so far :)
Me and this gal are spending my last night of summer together :)
Tomorrow I go back to being an elementary art teacher again.

PS - there is an award for you on my blog.
love the quilt...i'm a little jealous! i hope dad sees this! loves
ReplyDeleteI'm headed to RVA tomorrow...do you want anything?
ReplyDeleteYay! Was the box ghettolicious enough for you?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this quilt in it's finished form!
My grandmother has that same quilt design but a twin size and the base is teal instead of yellow. But yours is freakin' incredible!
Beautiful!!! Your dad ROCKS!!! Can't wait to see your next quilt finished!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt pix...and it's fun to see that you are making a block quilt. I love the feeling of seeing it come together. I worked on a "quilt" myself tonight -- making a beach blanket from sheets I picked up from Goodwill last weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour dad is the coolest!...LOVE that quilt!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, it's time to add "quilting" to your list of favorites on your blogger profile....you have become quite the quilter!! :)
P.S...Praying for you as you start back to school. Your students are so blessed to have you as a teacher! You are one of those teachers that kids will remember long after they have finished school as being one of their favorite teachers. I still remember one of my English teachers (Mrs. Lempe) as being one of my favorites because she made Shakespeare come alive for me. You are that kind of teacher. You make art so much fun!
I'll get it if they've got it!
ReplyDeleteOh, and check it out (this is off of your profile!):
