My Love Blanky

Well, well, well.....I had a wonderful surprise when I went to my quilt class today !!! My bestest buddy in the whole wide world, Joy, said for me not to leave after class that she had a surprise for me in the car. Could it be ???....no, no....I thought....not my "quilted love blanky" she's been working on since......(ooooppps - almost gave it away and I promised I wouldn't)....teehee !!!! Sure enough, Joy handed me a package and to me extreme delight was the quilt she designed and made all by herself.



She started this last September on her trip to Wyoming and she and her dad placed pieces out on the floor. Joy then sewed the squares together, while "dad" ironed....she finished the top that week. When she came home she surprised me with the top and we went together and picked out the borders and binding at Timeless Quilts. Of course, things happen in our lives to constantly interrupt getting fun things done, but she finally finished it and gave it to me today...as you can see, I love it as well as love my bestest buddy !!!!! Thanks, buddy for such a wonderful gift.

You are soooo welcome! Me loves you, my friend!! (But I am so glad we are taking class with Janet, because I for one need to learn a lot! Plus she's a fun teacher!) Just the one tip I learned today about borders was a biggie - but who knew? (measure quilt length three times, average, making border that long - I just stuck one on yours, sewed to the end, and snipped off the excess.....I know better now!) I'm glad you like your love blanky - use it and know I love you - LOTS!
