quilt in use

Aili Evelyn 30 months

 It's nice to see Aili using the quilt I made her .  She had it in her crib last October when we visited.
 Her room is filled with colour and light, another of my quilts is on a wall.
That one (pictured above) is inspired by an Emily Carr painting, and is covered with blanket stitch embroidery - quilting.
 I was pleased to see that these quilts are such an important part of my grand daughter's life.
We visited Aili again just before Christmas, and found out that she has moved out of her crib into a big girl bed. After all, she's going to be a big sister in January!
I hope that her quilt will help her through this big transition.

  1. The colors, quilts, light and many thoughtful objects in your beautiful granddaughter's room - a magical place has been created in which she can thrive and grow and dream. Each time I visit here I am filled with images and inspiration that stay with me. May this be a very happy new year for you and your family, Judy.

  3. Hello Judy,
    quilts make life cosy. My friends son, a early morning child, slept 2 hours longer than usual when he used the quilt I made for him the very first time. What other compliments do we need?
    Happy New year

  5. I am sure the quilt will be a big help to Aili as she welcomes a new sibling and figures out who she is in relation the new one. :-) Tidings of comfort and joy!

  6. I have admired the log cabin quilt on Aili's bed since you first showed it here. Along with your other beautiful work, it surrounds her with love.
