Kaitlyn's Quilt

Hi all ! Well I know it's been a long time in between posts but pretty soon I'll be able to post more frequently as I get birthday quilts done and out of the way ! I won't post those pictures until after I give them just in case they see my blog.

In the meantime, I'm posting a picture of a quilt I made for one of the terrific ladies I work with at school named Sharon (actually I made it for her daughter-in-law, Connie, for her newest daughter, Kaitlyn). Her son and daughter-in-law have two adopted children, Arianna and Kaitlyn. I promised Arianna that I would be making her a "big sister" quilt too ! Arianna told me she loves dogs and the color green, so I'll see what I can come up with. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some more of the green material that is in Kaitlyn's quilt to put in Arianna's. I think that would be really special to have both sisters with some of the same material !!! Sharon actually helped picked out the material from some samples that I brought in, which matched Connie's decor. It was so neat when I got to school on Wednesday this week and waiting in the lobby were Sharon, Connie, Arianna, and little Kaitlyn. Sharon wanted me to give it to Connie, which I was so proud to do. Thanks, Sharon, that really meant a lot to me! Sharon is such an inspiration to me and is so strong in her faith ! I wish I had have the faith that she does.

I have such a wonderful strong support system at school with all the classy ladies there (Tina, Debbie, Sharon, Pat, and of course Joyce). I don't really get to see Sharon or Debbie very much because Sharon is usually gone by the time I get to work and Debbie works on the days I don't, but I basically finish doing some of the things they don't have time for like finishing attendance, going through the mail, and filing.

Anyway, I really love making quilts for people. It's my therapy of course. I already have material to make Tina's grandson, Connor, his "big brother" quilt. Tina's daughter is expecting her second child later this year so of course I just "have to" make one for her newest grandchild too !!! ha, ha, ha !!! Just kidding.....I can't wait to make them and Connor's quilt will be all done in a fireman theme (Pictures will be posted at a later date).

Well, gotta get back to transcribing ! Love to all !
