My girlfriend Val is so creative! She made this baby quilt for her son's friend's sister's baby. The Curious George fabric was a Goodwill find a while ago. She cut out squares of the pictures and put together this quilt with his name in letters blanket stitched on. The back is a green fleece. It is hand tied with brown embroidery floss. The yellow box is a Curious George book set to go along with the quilt! Isn't it adorable?
Here's a close up:
Val also is involved with a Mary Engelbreit online group. They are a pretty active group but you have to be on AOL to be in the group. I don't have AOL. Some of them keep AOL just to stay with the group! She made this pillow for a birthday swap. She painted the name with acrylic paints. I love the vintage trim (she got the trim before they started to remake them). Lucky Patti!
So cute! What a wonderful gift! Love that she got some of the fabric at Goodwill!

That Curious George quilt is priceless. It's got that retro/heirloom look to it. She did a nice job!
