and his Two Fathers
Have been working
on organizing my fabric collection (known among Quilters as one’s fabric stash)
among other things. Early this Summer I
recall seeing a cute fabric in that stash of little rocketships in Blue on a White ground. I recall thinking a little boy would love this
fabric. Well a bit later I learned that
an old friend had changed his mind about having kids and somewhat later in life
has decided to become a Father. So I
made a baby quilt for his new son. What
a happy thing to hear about. He has no
idea, when he sent me a picture of his baby boy and I looked into that little face,
the idea of this baby quilt was born.
Turned out so well, I am delighted with it.
Here's where I started out.
A pattern known among quilters as a Disappearing 9 Patch (D9P).
A sweet
print for the back, referring to Buffalo, where the Father and I met and went
to College together.
Snowmen commemorating both Buffalo and Snow Belt, and hopefully soon to be delighting a toddler.
Am pretty
pleased with the result, calming, soothing, the reverse charming and cute.
Some pictures when complete; indoors.
More pictures, but from outdoors, different, natural lighting.
On a park bench near my home.
I hope to Fedex it to them soon as a total surprise.
Some additional pictures.
Am
happy to say the recipients were delightfully surprised, it was as well
received as I’d hoped!
