Although this gift was a pillow, not a quilt, I will always remember my grandson's treasuring it. When he was married, I magnified the picture on the wedding invitation. It was a picture of a tree with many small leaves in fall colors and leaves in the air falling to the ground. Beneath the tree were two bluebirds with a small red heart between them.
I made this scene on a pillow with each picture appliqued including the tiny leaves. Then I satin stitched the edges. On the back I embroidered the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding.
They have this pillow displayed in their living room!
