Lap Quilt in Progress
 

Hi, I wanted to show off my latest project that I have been working on: my daughter's Kindergarden teacher, Ms. Birdsong, is a very special lady. Her father had a stroke about 6 or 7 weeks ago and he is unable to return home so he's been moved to a long-term care facility. His wife, the teacher's mother, is not taking this very well.

I wanted to do something special so I decided to create a lap quilt for the mother, Barbara. I've just about got the top done. I have two more birds to applique around. I'm still trying to decide if the cat needs eyes or not. I thought about using buttons for eyes but I'm just not sure. What do you think?

I received a really pretty pastel roses fabric from my boyfriend's mom and thought I would use that for my backing. I hope she likes it. I'll keep you apprised of my progress. As you can see I have an excellent assistant, my daughter, Bridget!

Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy it.

How very kind of you. It will be a beautiful quilt and will give her much pleasure at this hard time of her life. God bless you.

Love to see work in progress photos! Keep going and don't forget to show finished project!

Great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

What a wonderful thing to do. She will love it. Great job.

I like it. Cat looks like it's looking out at the butterflies!!

what a thoughtful giff

How nice of you to do this. It will keep him warm and be a good boost for the family

Oh, I love the lap quilt you are making. It will be really appreciated, I'm sure. Buttons would look cute on the cat, but without buttons, he looks like he is looking up at the butterflies. Either way would be cute. I like your fabric choice. I have some of the fabric like you used. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for the couple.

You have a cute helper. Your daughter is beautiful.

How kind of you to make something special for this lady. Great looking quilt. Your daughter has a lovely smile.
