In the mail, finally...She is a month old already?!

Reverse applique using polar fleece, very stretchy polar fleece, for all its non-piling advantages.  An IKEA pillowcase gave some stability (without it I made a puckered up mess of stretchy wrinkly awfulness.  This quilt is brought to you by UN-SEWER's united!  Love my seam ripper and an afternoon of unsewing quietly in the sunny window seat...) Silky rose Barbizon background and other side, so this is more a wrap or blankie, than a true old-fashioned quilt, no batting.  Find the fox!

I am thankful for colorful, fun fabric.  Love the visual and tactile blessings of our bodies, being able to touch, caress, admire, luxuriate in color and enjoy.

Fox found on a cute tea towel from TJ Maxx that I originally was sending to my brother for his birthday, with his great middle family-history name!

Time for a New Forever Family

This is my favorite picture of Steven, my tallest little brother. Today is his wedding day! Welcome, new Sister Babcock!
(Altered quilted pillow shams, part of my gift to the couple!)
On our own, it's just us.
Seen from the right persepctive, the relationship goes on and on. That is what it means to me to be sealed, united, married in the temple of God, bound by restored Priesthood power, for now, and for all the ever afters!
