My sweet Naomi is moving in a few weeks to start a new job. *sob* But it's not too far away that we won't still get to see her and visit. *yay* In fact, we told her we had visitation rights and should get to see her at least once a month. ;) We are holding her to that.
A couple of years ago, I scoured the internet to find a Simplicity layer cake by Moda for her birthday (our birthdays are a couple of weeks apart). She loves that line as much as I do! The plan was for her to make herself a quilt. She started one, but with her impeding move, she knew it wouldn't get done for a long time and asked me if I would make it for her. Of course!!
I dug around in my stash for other fabric that played nicely with the Simplicity fabric. I think the end result is so pretty and sweet. Just like my Naomi. =) (The hanging baskets are flowers that Naomi planted for me as a surprise.)
Naomi has promised to use it until it falls into itty bitty pieces. =) That's what I want her to do. I want her to feel the love I have for her every time she cuddles with her quilt. =)
Now that I have made myself cry, its time for me to get to work!!
Have a happy Wednesday, friends!!
Sweet quilt for a sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteShe will so love this quilt. Yes, we have adopted a few kids in our life time and miss them when they are gone like I miss my own. It is good she will be close enough to see her
ReplyDeleteAmy you are such a sweet friend. I love that quilt and I sure Naomi is going to love it even more. What a great picture of you two.
