Such Great Talent

I just thought I would post some pictures of the quilt my Aunt Gayle made for Auntie Doris. It is such an amazing quilt and has such awesome detail. I could never dream of making something that creative. Aunt Gayle helped me make a blanket for Tyler when we were dating (six plus years ago). I also made a blanket for Tyler for when he holds Lizette, but it is nothing compared to Aunt Gayle's work. Maybe one day I can make something half as good.

(click on the picture to get a close up to see all the amazing detail work that Aunt Gayle did. Each square has something to do with Doris, ex:Camping at Carpinteria, Doris' tea parties, Doris business, etc, etc)







































**Sorry the only picture that I found of the blanket I made for Tyler-Lizette is with Lizette on it**
**Tyler did stuff wipes in her diaper to make her butt look big**

That quilt is amazing. But really, do we need the gratuitous butt shot? (just kidding...)

Now that is a blackmail picture! That's cool your Aunt put the Lassen's logo in there.

Lizette's big butt totally cover the amazing John Deere blanket that you so creatively made!

Aunt Gayle is incredibly talented in so many ways. I think it was the perfect gift for this special birthday of Doris'. We all love our Auntie Doris, too, don't we!

That is so amazing. I had heard about it, but never got to see it. So awesome. Aunt Gayle is in her own league.

I am always so impressed by great seamstresses because I am a sewing class dropout. I have tried to learn several times and I get frustrated and quit. I have no patience.
