My sister Becky, who is a fabulous quilter started this quilt for MaryKate when I got pregnant. In the 2 years that have transpired since then, Becky has had 2 babies, making it nearly impossible for her to find the time to quilt with 4 little ones. At Christmas the quilt pieces and design where passed to me to finish. After making a few final pieces, sewing all the pieces together, quilting each block, & binding it I have one finished imperfect quilt and a blister on my middle finger & thumb. Holy cow... quilting takes a lot of time! When MaryKate is a sassy teen & questions my love for her I will point at the quilt & enough said! For all you quilters out there, bless you for your patience. I hope to sit near you at church or the doctors office while MaryKate screams irreverently. I nearly cursed 3 times while making this & that is not like me. Anyway, thank you Becky for all your help! You're the best!
P.S. James' Valentines post was very, very kind & made me cry... just if you were wondering. I hope you all have someone that finds their own ways of making you feel loved like that. And I hope you had at least one delicious Valentine treat!
