I guess I went on a baby quilt piecing binge last year because it seems I had four or five baby quilts to gift away this year!  Not that there is anything wrong with that, I am pretty sure it happened because I finally learned to handle my MS symptoms to the point that I was capable to sew again.

This past weekend, my daughter got to be the one to enjoy that oh-so-special feeling of giving away a quilt to a special person.  She had asked me last year, when a friend of hers had a baby, if I would make a special quilt for the new little man.  I said no, but I would make one WITH her – to which she readily agreed.  Using one of my “Six Fat Quarters” quilt patterns, we chose the fabric, cut the pieces per the pattern and I sewed while she used the iron to press my seams and then we both put it all together.  Mrs. Kathryn Rister quilted it for me and then my foster mother whip-stitched the back binding and blind-stitched the label on.  It was definitely a family affair plus Ms. Kathryn!

Here is my oldest daughter with her special little man:

And here is the quilt she and I made for him:

BONUS!  BABY FEET!!!  🙂
