Above and Beyond

 Hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day weekend.  We did--in spite of the rain.
I just had to share my new quilt.
This was made by my friend, Heather.
She was very kind--let me tell ya why.
This fabric was given to her for a challenge by me.   She was only supposed to make the top.
She went above and beyond by quilting and binding it.
I LOVE IT.

It is not my usual fabric choice of warm colors and prim,but I wanted to step outside my comfort box this time. She did a perfect job with it.

Thanks, Heather. You made my day.
I am going to IKEA today with my two oldest girls.  The younger two are at a camp with their Dad.
Happy Monday.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

I'm so glad you like it!! I was pretty worried when I opened that bag. I have to give the quilting credit to my mom.....she did that for us. It was a fun challenge. Thanks for participating.
