knowing that right now as i type he is lying in his bed tucked in underneath this quilt makes me so very happy. each little detail was handpicked with him in mind, right down to the color of the thread. it is not a perfect quilt, but it is perfectly imperfect and sewn with all my love. may he have sweet dreams under it, warm wonderful dreams.

How wonderful! Congrats on finishing this project!
OMG, this is so beautiful... I feel the Love all the way up here in Ottawa! Thanks for including us in your Love story.

This is just so perfect...I hope you make it into some kind of little printed book. It will be just as much an heirloom as the quilt itself.
awwww....beautiful!
This might be the most precious quilt I've ever seen Kristin. A treasure forever. I love the hand embroidered ship and waves!
This is wonderful...and I love your photos of it, as well. The little ship with the heart is the perfect, finishing touch!
so great!
so sweet. i'm sure he will treasure it always.
wow, congrats on the accomplishment. So very beautiful.
HE will love it forever! my mother made me a quilt when I went off to college, and I just recently allowed my son (22 yrs) to take it with him as he moved.....sigh...I miss them both....smiles.
omg - that is such a treasure. i can imagine his son and then his grandson cradling that
That is incredibly sweet :) I just love how you embroidered the ship and little 'love mom' on it for him to. He will cherish his quilt for many years to come knowing that you made it so lovingly for him :)
