This is the second quilt I made for one of my daughters. She picked out several fat quarters and I made this patchwork square throw quilt for her. She is a down-to-earth girl and loves the outdoors and simple style. I love the backing with is the polka dots and I had it long arm quilted with a swirling circular vine pattern. I have the binding yet to do.
My youngest still likes hugs and kisses,
not in public, but allowed behind closed doors.
Sometimes he forgets, holds my hand
as we walk sidewalk or street; almost brings me to tears.
Perhaps little boy sweetness lingers a bit longer,
as my girls flirted with independence
far too early.
carefully choose color and pattern,
piece and pin often past midnight,
prayerfully secure layers with flourishes of design ...
an heirloom perhaps, worn-out, treasured,
maybe bring tears to their eyes
knowing they are loved.
