I'd like to thank HER who tries with all her might to
Control Dui and Roxy with Bella's help, for sending me the below which she saw the picture on

You might remember back in July I had a delightful lunch with these young ladies and their mom
l-r: Sandra, Emily, Nora, Cecilia and Rose |
For the last month I've been making these 3 quilted wall hangings
I send them birthday presents each year.
This year I decided to make them, you guessed it... a quilted present.
As I selected each piece of fabric, I had one of these young ladies in mind..
All 3 love cats and dogs
All 3 are Girl Scouts the first one below has a S'mores border
All 3 play piano 2 of them have music notes on back.
All 3 like astronomy (their Dad is a Physics Professor)
The back side of the black and gray one has stars on it.
Emily's bday is in November, Nora and Rose January and February
A light bulb went off...why not send all 3 b-day presents at one time.
Allowing each of them select their favorite.
In Mind's Eye I saw:
The black and gray for Nora
The purple and aqua for Emily
The one with the S'mores border for Rose.
The package is addressed to their mom. I clued her in on my thinking. She will
let me know which one each girl selected. I had in mind for them.
On the back of each one a sewed a sleeve which will allow them to insert a small dowel. That is how I hung mine.
Once they have made their selections I'll let you know...
The package was rec'd last Friday. I sure am glad I sent all 3 at one time.
I was totally WRONG on which one I had in mind for each one.
Here is a photo (taken just before the left for Halloween gathering)
it's amazing what wonderful things you can make with your hands... I wish I had at least a little bit talent to create something nice... but I'm not even able to make some simple warning vests for the boyz LOL

Sometimes we THINK we know how something will turn out but we get surprised - each of the girls looks like they knew precisely which quilt was "theirs" - even if it wasn't quite how you envisioned it they all look VERY happy. Brilliant to make them wall hangings!
