Birthday Quilts!

Since Thursday was the trio's Thirteenth Birthday, they got their new quilts! They were so surprised! Belive me, it is not easy to hide working on THREE different quilts over this past year, when my sewing area is the corner extension (supposed to be where a dining table goes) of the living room! :o)

Here is David with his Boy Scout Quilt:

And here is Anna with her Flourish quilt:
And Elizabeth with her Orange quilt:
My friend Carol (Cornfield Quilter) did the quilting on these and she did such a beautiful job! Really made these quilts sparkle! Thank you again, Carol! David kept saying "How did she do that?!" when he saw the Fleur De Lis and "Boy Scouts" stitched into his quilt!

I am glad that even at "THIRTEEN", my kids appreciate a quilt! :o)))
