Aunt Grace is done

Last month I showed you my 1930's Aunt Grace quilt that I was sending off to the quilter, well here it is, back from the quilter, all bound and labelled.

I officially love it even more. But it was never for me. It was always for my gorgeous cousin Kelli. I started making it for her on a night I knew she was going through something really personal & tough. That is the date I put on the label. Its significant. I knew a quilt would cheer her up when I gave it to her. It wont take away the pain, but I knew how much she would love it. I knew how much I would love to give it to her & how much I would enjoy seeing her smile. She has a gorgeous smile.  

I gave Kelli her Circle of Love quilt tonight. As predicted, she loves it. She was very excited & so was I.
