Rebecca’s “Strawberry Shortcake” Is Amazing.

by mfons

Oooh!

The Quilt Family Mafia’s youngest member is hard at work on her first (yep, first official) baby quilt. Rebecca, my younger sister and producer of Quilty, is making a darling baby quilt with white and scrappy pink half-square-triangles (a.k.a. “HST’s”) and she’s calling it, “Strawberry Shortcake For Gwendolyn.”

Could you just DIE of the cuteness? And by the way…this quilt? So. Freaking. Easy. And. Fun.

But this photo is my favorite. She’s smiling behind this quilt. You can tell. Why is my sister smilng? Because there is no feeling in the world like doing patchwork. It’s very special.

Rebecca, Aren’t you just so proud! My first quilt was for my first and only grand baby. It started a passion in me that is never-ending. I have her a quilt every year. She will be 6 in October. She loves looking at my quilting magazines. She picked out “Little Blossoms” from the Easy Quilts magazine. I started it today and she will have it for her birthday. BTW, tell Mary that I picked up “Quilty”…LOVE IT, LOVE IT…JUST LOVE IT!!
