Results of an All Night-er







Most everyone has seen the unfinished bed spread I was making for Kenli! Well after a year of sitting in a closet Aubrey got me motivated to finish it. I had trouble deciding weather to hire someone to professionally quilt the blanket, just tie it, or attempt to quilt it myself. I'm not a big fan of the tie look so Aubrey convinced me that we could quilt it(even though neither of us had ever done any quilting). Aub was able to borrow a quilting frame and we got started Monday afternoon, we weren't able to get very far before I had to be home for the kids. I headed back to Aubrey's after the kids were in bed to work on the quilting some more. We didn't really know how long it was going to take but enjoyed talking and stitching (I did most of the talking and she did most of the stitching!). For anyone that knows us we can get a little carried away with are crafting! And now we are happy to say we know how long it takes to quilt a blanket! We finished the stitching about 5am and then having only a half hour before needing to be up to get the kids ready for school we decided there was no point in going to bed why not sew the edges of the quilt and have it completely finished! I love the result sooooo much it turned out so much better than I imagined! I am very very grateful to have such an Awesome, Amazing,Smart,and Talented sister so close I am so very blessed! I love you Aubrey Thank you Thank you Thank you!
