A Signature Quilt For A Precious Girl

I had the privilege of participating in an amazing thing. A blanket was made in Three days. Yes, three days. For a Precious little girl in my son, Rylek's school class. A note was sent home from the teacher asking who could sew. Three mom's admitted their skills... and we were told of the need. I was in tears. I new I had to help. A darling little girl in their class would soon go in to surgery at the local children's hospital. Where she would spend some time afterwords recovering. And her teacher wanted to send her off with a quilt of encouragement from the class. How incredible, right?

So I went to my stash pulled out my white fabric, (please tell me I'm not the only crazy one that has enough fabric stashed...because people did think it was weird...) cut out squares, ironed on freezer paper on the back, and the very next day sent them to my son's class with permanent markers. They came home that same day... See, us women are fast, when there is a need!!! One of the other darling mom's brought me the rest of the fabric for the quilt that she had and I cut and sewed the top squares to this point.

And then I dropped them back off to her house. (Talk about perfect way to quilt) She sewed them all together in rows and brought them back to me, the very next day. So that same day I put the back on and added the silk edge to the quilt. (Sorry I don't have a better picture... I have NO idea why it's blurry...) 

The next morning another fabulous mom came over and we tied away. That same day, I ran it down to the school.

And today (Thursday the 22nd) we handed it off. It was so fun to be in the class when this darling girl and her mom came to pick it up!!! I wish her much success with her surgery and hope this quilt keeps her comfy and positive on her journey! The kids absolutely adore her and were so excited to show her their masterpieces on a blanket!

I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to work on this. It was amazing from the start to the finish!!! Totally something that was meant to be, and I thank Mrs. Cooley for giving me this chance to be included and help out such a precious girl and her family. I was also to meet to incredible mothers out there, who I wish I would have known back when we moved in in January. I would have had many of fun times out with her. I just know it!!!

Here is my little guy's block. It's cute as can be. 

Again, I'm overwhelmed with this project, and how fast, and efficiently, and perfectly it was put together. The Lord's hands were definitely involved in the process. It was amazing.
