Please know how much I love you and how happy I am that you joined our family. I know I'm a slacker that it took me 16+ months to make you your quilt. (To be honest, yours got done before Addie's.) Just look at it as your almost 17 month old birthday gift.Love you much!

Oh my word, Kelli it looks like it was well worth the wait! You are so talented, I love the fabrics.
ps. how do you hang a quilt on the wall?
Ohmy. Gorgeous!! I wish you would let us see the entire thing (hint, hint). I want to see more of your quilts and craftiness and how about a little peek at your craft room which I hear is out of this world amazing. Please?
By the way, thank you so much for your sweet comments on my blog abotu our family pictures. You know how to make a girl feel good!
PS - if I ever die, I'm telling Allen that you get our kids' clothing budget to buy all their clothes, since we pretty much have identical taste :)
Okay Louise, listen closely because hanging a quilt on the wall is a very complicated process...
I find skinny nails, and nail through the quilt, into the wall.
I love homemade quilts just as much as the next gal, but trying to sew a "sleeve" on the back, then balancing a rod on the wall...too much for me. So, all my quilts are hanging on the wall by nails. None of them are so big that it makes them tear, and I use nails skinny enough that the holes are minimal.
And, I tell myself that three generations from now, my great grandkids will laugh at how their lazy great-grandma couldn't be bothered to hang a quilt correctly. Gives it character, I suppose :).
Its beautiful!
Yay!!! I, I mean Abby, cannot wait! I guess I'll have to hang the cabinet in her room now so it can hang from it. Just kidding, it's going on the wall over her dresser.
Looks beautiful -- I want to see the whole thing!
You are my kind of "hanging-a-quilt-to-the-wall" kind of girl! Thank you, in the midst of your quilting genius, for keeping it real!!
Now, I join the petition of those of us wanting to see the whole thing!! And a virtual tour of your craft room sounds like a necessity, too! I'm SO sad I couldn't come in October! :o(
For anyone who wanted to see the whole thing, I actually sent it to Abby before I took a picture.
Steph promises to take one and post it on her blog, so I'll link to that when she does it.
Thanks for all the quilt love!
