Baby Quilts

She did it again. Coralee has made a beautiful quilt for each of her grandchildren. She finished this one for Azure (Grandchild #20) while on her mission. We just got it this week and couldn't be more happy with it. It's beautiful. I can't believe how much hard work she puts into each of these quilts. So, naturally, we had to have a photo shoot.



I should, perhaps, take a close-up of the back so you can really get a good view of the beautiful stitching. She quilted around the large flowers and the daisies. So much work!

The note talks about how Coralee finished the quilt in the Sarah Granger Kimball home in Nauvoo. That's the home where the idea of the Relief Society (and the beginning of millions of quilts) was conceived. I think that's an awesome little historical note. Such a special quilt.


And look at how happy she is about it. Azure has been smiling at us now for a few weeks! I love, love, love her smiles. Because let's face it, not all of my kids give those away so easily:


See.

Cormac wanted to do a photo shoot as well. So here he is with his special quilt Grandma made and his special bear. He's really happy about it too. But at least I got one of him sitting still before this happened:



He really likes to wrestle with his bear. They are buddies. 


Coralee, thank you so much for the beautiful quilts. We love them. They are very special to us. You spoil us.
