Inspiration

I have been wanting to make Gwenie a quilt for along time and have had many ideas, but it has never happened. Finally I was inspired by a quilt I found on a quilting blog. I am going to make it for one of Gwenie's Christmas presents, she loves blankets. I called my mom to have her help me think of the best way to go about it, since I do not have a pattern just a picture. I am even going to attempt to "free hand" embroider. I haven't done that since Junior high, which was a long time ago. I am so excited to start and see how it all goes, especially the embroidery part. I am a little scared to draw what I want on the material, hopefully I won't suck. You will have to wait until I am done to see it but, here is just a peek:

You go, girlfriend. The fabrics are darling....I'm sure Gwen will love the quilt for many years to come. (Erin would have loved her quilt, too, but I never got around to finishing it....and it's too girly for Mason....)
