Dear Sis,

Great Grandma Cooper gives out hand embroidered quilts to all her great grand babies. I’ve actually made and backed two of my own, so the one she gave me for William in 2015 has been sitting in a box waiting to be backed for sometime. When, I got a second one for baby sister in July, I decided it was time to do both!

I used to be of the mindset that this was a task that needed to be hand sewn. The combination of the versatility of my new sewing machine and the need for more efficient time usage that goes along with second wave motherhood, has persuaded me that things don’t necessarily have to be perfect to be done well:)

William’s Quilt

I chose a pale blue swiss dot for this one. I was trying to make it look suitable for a little boy. Luckily, the colors in the bow boarder was very accommodating:)

Baby Sister’s Quilt

Again, the boarder inspired my fabric choose. I like the vine embroidery so well, I wanted to help make it more of a focal point:)

As I recall, Great Grandma Cooper gave Evelyn a beautiful quilt and I’m sure your about to get another for your pending addition:) Bring them sometime when you visit and I’ll happily back them for you so they wash and wear better over the years!

Love,

b
