The Quilt

As you might remember, my talented mother made a hand-quilted a beautiful baby quilt for Shepherd when I was expecting him.  This past weekend, mom came to Ardmore to attend the baby shower our church threw for BGG.  The night before she arrived, I barely slept because I was so excited about seeing the quilt I knew she had just finished for our little girl.  As soon as she walked in the door Friday afternoon, I begged to see it, and it did not disappoint.  In fact, I think it is the prettiest quilt I've ever seen:

Here are a few close ups of the details:

The baby shower was beautiful, and we all had so much fun.  Unfortunately, I did not get my camera out near enough. Instead, I depended on Stephanie and Mom, and I haven't had a chance to see their pictures yet.  But below is a shot of the beautiful decorations.  Everything was peach and yellow to match the colors we are doing in BGG's space:

Since the shower, I've been in nesting overdrive.  I love getting everything ready for a new baby.  All of the details are coming together to perfectly match the quilt.  As soon as the nursery is totally done, I'll post pictures.  Until then, if there was any doubt about the gender of the baby we are about to welcome, all you have to do these days is check our lint trap:
