That gorgeous little girl and the wisdom to know that a quilt can wait ~ spending time with a little girl who will grow up in the blink of an eye cannot. <br /><br />Your Eventide will be beautiful but not nearly as beautiful as your daughter. I'm so happy you made the choice you did. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214039320694183844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268888024975253720.post-25954174213007106162011-04-13T04:58:31.570-07:002011-04-13T04:58:31.570-07:00I missed the deadline too!

You made the right choice :) what a sweetie pie, you taught her a very valuable lesson. Mom may love to quilt but she doesn't love quilting more than her baby your actions speak louder than words!<br />You may have washable markers, dishwashers etc that make life easier as a Mom but you also have way more distractions and demands put upon you than Moms of yesteryear had :)<br />I decided years ago to play with my girls even if it meant leaving a sink full of dishes...now that my girls are all almost grown they choose to spend time with me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268888024975253720.post-31668218435197722472011-04-06T10:42:10.505-07:002011-04-06T10:42:10.505-07:00How could you bear to give that quilt away?

I like your choice of fabrics, the colors draw your eye across and around the quilt.

Enjoy every minute you can.<br /><br />I like your use of the fabric for the larger stars. You can tell they're there but there are still darker fabrics in the smaller stars. It's a nice balance.Jackie's Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728521317964661942noreply@blogger.com
