{Taken at 3:30am Friday night.}
Elise turned 8 on Saturday. What an exciting day for her. On the simple side, there was no huge party to host or plan for, but a lot of love was exchanged that day. Friday night I swooped the kids off to bed a little earlier than usual so I could finish her quilt. I still had a little machine quilting to finish up and binding to sew on. Hours later, it was complete around 3am. Just so happened to be right around the time she was born eight years ago. How synchronous was that!
She really loved her quilt. I was so pleased with how it turned out. It's a pattern that madebyrae published on her blog several years ago using Heather Ross' Far Far Away II fabric line. It was one of those jaw dropping moments I had when I first eyed it and started making plans right away to make one for Elise, just turns out it took me awhile to get it completed.
So this morning I took it upon myself to take some photos of it on her bed where I think it looks lovely. I'm sure as soon as she's home from school, it will be pulled off and carried around from room to room as it has been all weekend, it makes such a lovely warm companion.
