I finally finished it !!!!
« on: April 23, 2006, 08:09:59 am »
I started this quilt probably about 4 yrs ago. I started by cross stitching the animal babies. I cross stitched 12 of them and then sewed them together to make this quilt. I am soooo proud of how it turned out. :) Just thought I would share it with you guys. I started a fire truck quilt for the little boy we are adopting so I will post pictures of that when I finish it. :)

Oh, that is lovely.  I love the colors!  I wish I had the patience to do something like that.

  As a guy I guess it might not be PC to comment on a quilt but my Grandmother and my ex both did cross stitch so I can appreciate the amount of work you put into it. It's beautiful. Nice job!

Thank you for all the compliments. I love the final product (sometimes  ::) ) I'm a perfectionist so if i don't like it I get mad and throw it away. I do a lot of sewing, making clothes for my daughter, crocheting, cross stitching, and a lot of other crafts.
We are in the process of adopting 2 little boys. We were foster parents in Texas for 2 yrs and fell in love with 2 boys. They are half brothers. The oldest is 3 and the youngest is 18 months. We got the oldest when he was 19 months old. We got the baby when he was 2 days old. They are in foster care in Texas still. We had to move to Arizona due to the military. All the paperwork on our end is done. But we are waiting for the paperwork on Texas' end to be finished. I haven't seen the boys since August. My husband hasn't seen them since April of 2005. We miss them a lot. We send them stuff every month, and talk to them on the phone. I will try to keep you all posted and will definately let you know when we get them :)

I have never tried to sell any of my crafts. I just make them for family and close friends, but if anyone is looking for something in particular let me know. I just finished the boys quilts. I started these yesterday and made them without any kind of pattern. I am decorating the boys room in a transportation theme. I bought 2 toddler beds one is a fire truck and one is a train. So I made a fire truck and a train quilt to match. I put a picture of the front and then a picture of the backing.
