Quilts

Stephen's maternal grandmother is a quilter, and she's really good!  Grandma Reiman has made many, many, many quilts and has won many awards and a few of her quilts are actually worth a lot of money.  


There is a place in my heart for quilts as my mom collected quilts and even made a few, sewing often with her sisters.  My aunts made a double wedding ring quilt for Stephen and I when we were married.  And I use that quilt because I want it to be our family quilt, I want it to get warn and thin and soft, we take it to the park, outdoor events and I made a point to incorporate it in our recent family photos (taken by my sister).

About a year ago I found out that Grandma Reiman had been working on a quilt for her great-grandaughter, Kyla!  She finished it a few weeks ago, it was in a quilt show in Washington and sent to our house right away!  It is the most darling quilt I have ever seen!

I love the wavy, wispy stitching, love.

Each doll is different and so much detail was put in to each one.

 Each face is hand painted!

 This girl has great hair!

 This one has a sweet bo-peep and sheep print with tiny buttons and apron

 look at those eyes!

This is such a special gift and I know we will cherish it forever... and we'll keep it away from the park ; )
