**EMILY - if you’re reading this overt your eyes and move on! LOL!

Here it is! I’m finally posting pictures of the quilt I mentioned in an earlier post>>. This gorgeous creation was made by my amazing sister-in-law Elizabeth and it’s perfection! I can’t wait to send this off to Emily and her new baby girl Olivia Gail this week - I’ve held off because I wanted to know the baby’s name before I sent it off. Now I just have to write the card for her and it’s ready to go.

Thank you so much Liz for your tireless efforts in creating this masterpiece, you are so talented. I dare say, it’s killing me to let the quilt go, I love it so much. The best part will be thinking about the fun we had in picking the fabrics out together, and the magical way it all came together. I know Liz had many stressful points along the way with this blanket but you’d never know from the sheer gorgeousness of her stitches. She doesn’t have a long arm machine, all the circular top stitching was painfully done with a template and her walking foot. I’m still in awe that she whipped it all together in what seemed to be record time, though I think I may have ruined her for any future baby projects! LOL! Kidding, I know she loved it.

I hope baby Olivia cozy’s up in her new blanket and feels all the love that was infused into it, and that Emily will feel chic and beautiful carrying it when they’re out on the town.
