I think I only make handmade gifts because I love to see the faces when they see it for the first time. pure joy :) Libby even said, she was secretly hoping I would make her one. She was thrilled when she opened the bag. My mother in law on the other hand, cried. a good cry though. She knew immediately the fabrics used were from her grandmother. I didn't get any pictures of Grandpa opening up his gift because all 3 of them opened theirs up at just about the same time.
I was taking a little test shot of Kathryn (Gavin's cousin) opening her gift when I realized Libby opening the quilt! oops!
That smile is realizing what it is :)
inspecting the flannel quilt
My Mother in Law Dee starting to tear up
Since I finished it late last night- Kathryn & I went outside for a quick shoot this morning (using my new lens yahoo!)
Finished quilt is pretty large- 74" X 74" a nice big snuggle quilt - 100% cotton flannel both front & back
And my next project will be a design wall in my office as my floor isn't cutting it anymore. I am happy with the finished quilt- but wishing I had added more red so it didn't look so random in the quilt. I used 6 different flannel prints, but black/grey/white/red flannel prints isn't so easy to come by. but over all, I'm glad Libby loves it and I just wish I bought enough flannel to make myself one too!
From my funny little family to yours- Merry Christmas and happy new year!
