Wow, we have been living life on "fast forward" lately! In the course of about 6 months, our family has experienced or will experience: 3 showers; 2 births: and a wedding. Very busy, but it's all good. We are so blessed!
 |
| This quilt is Liliana's Southwest Dreams, modeled by Liliana herself. More on this later. |
 |
| Genevieve and Dave at their baby shower back in November. We had a nice big group of family and friends, gathered to celebrate the upcoming birth of their little girl. |
 |
| Sister moms-to-be! Genevieve on the left, Emily on the right. My lovely daughters! (both have since delivered, Genevieve had Liliana Noelle on Christmas morning, and Emily welcomed Ella Karen on February 12) |
 |
| Emily, her husband Matt, Danny (Hannah's fiance), and Hannah. You can see the nice bright space we rented at our park district rec center. |
 |
| Love this clever gift from one of Genevieve's good friends! |
 |
| The two grandmas-to-be, and shower planners, Annette and myself! We had fun working on this together! |
 |
| The rowdy table (every party has one!): our good friends, Diane, Paul, Andrew, Molly, Cindy, and Bill. |
 |
| This stole the show! Scott made this "watermelon baby" himself! (modeled after many found on pinterest) I think he did an AMAZING job! |
 |
| This was some of my inspiration for Genevieve's baby quilt. She wanted something with a southwest theme, and I love this squash blossom quilt block design. Found this quilt on pinterest, sorry I don't know the source. I did a LOT of searching for ideas, and went through several design choices before settling on this one. I even started sewing one of the other options, but was not happy until I found this. |
 |
| Quilt in progress. I love the off center feeling of this quilt. |
 |
| Genevieve asked me to design the quilt color scheme around this framed artwork, but with a southwest theme. |
 |
| Finished quilt and Lily. Machine quilted perfectly by Sue Pawlowski. |
 |
| Hello Lily! |
 |
| And back to sleep. |
 |
| I LOVE how Genevieve posed Lily for this photo! |
Sweet dreams, Lily!
