Baby Quilt for Will

We had a baby shower for Tamsin, Scott's older sister.  She recently became a mother of precious twins, Myra and Will.  They were in the NICU for two months and then at home for another two, so it was nice for many to finally get to meet them. 



Tamsin has been a wonderful sister to all her siblings, including Scott.  She set an example of love and support in the family, which we try to follow.  Our children has been growing up considering her as a second mother and a person they go to when they need extra love.  We are so thankful for her and are excited beyond words for the arrival of her own children.    


Sister Kersten, far left in the picture above, decorated the room in Tamsin's favorite color, green.  Isn't it so cute?  She is such an artist.  She is also a published author.  Check out her Friend article in May Friend, page 4.        
 

I made a quilt for Myra and Will.  Here is Wills.  I used this pattern.  I actually didn't have time to order the pattern as the inspiration didn't come until the last minute.  I looked at the picture and drew up my own pattern.        





Myra's quilt is still in the works.  I will post it as soon as it is finished.

I didn't know you were posting all the time. What fun it was to see pictures of the family gatherings and the progress on the "reno".

I bought them all on etsy.com. A lot of them are from Denyse Schmidt’s Katie Jump Rope line.
