Quilt Story: Heather's quilt story...a baptism quilt...

Addie's Baptism Quilt

My third sweet daughter was baptized a few months ago. She thought she was getting a quilt because her sisters did. But I never let her see me working on it, and told her I will try to do it on time, but don't think I will be able to. When she opened her gift, she loved it! The other girls got a little mad and said "her's is cuter" (it's true, it is)

Don't you love the snowy photos?

I fell in love with this color combo, and I want to make another quilt with all these colors....

You all know the book, I changed it to "for eternity" instead of "as long as I am living." She is ALWAYS my baby! Isn't the embroidery sweet? I created her, and she reminded me of Addie, so I added her to the quilt...

And here is the darling baptism girl...

Seriously, have you ever seen cuter horse teeth? She is as sweet as she looks! In the spring I plan on taking her out and getting nicer baptism photos, with her quilt of course!

Also, we have a winner from the FABRIC SHOPPE! Taryn wins a half yard bundle of Aneela Hooey's Little Apples. Cute!

Susan said...: I wish I'd thought of the baptism quilts way back when. I was lucky to do the 21st birthday, though. =) That is the cutest thing ever. I might have to do that for a friend's son who will be baptised this summer - or help his mom do one. =); February 11, 2012 at 8:05 PM
