Look what was waiting for me when I got home tonight!
A box full of pink styrofoam! You know that's promising.
And beneath the pink styrofoam was the most beautiful box...
Even more promising.
And inside the beautiful box...?
This gorgeous quilt, made by hand especially for Little Girl, by an amazingly talented Amish lady. Notice how the quilting on the yellow boarder is all hearts?
Slays me.
Yet another example of how thoughtful and generous my wonderful Aunt Gene is. (THANK YOU, AG. You'll be hearing from me tomorrow!)
I can't wait until Little Girl is having tummy time on her special quilt and Moose is wondering why I'm such an insane nut about him keeping his dirty paws off, thank you very much.
Then again, this quilt might be more for hanging on the wall...
Wow! Gorgeous!

My mum made a quilt for my nephew and he was on it all the time, I bet your Little Girl will love hers just as much! :)

Absolutely beautiful!!! Nothing you can buy in a store - no matter how much you spend - can ever compare to something that has been handmade. A friend of the family hand knit a beautiful blanket for Charlotte, and it is her absolute favorite.
LIttle Girl is already getting spoiled... as she should be!
