Here is a 40th anniversary quilt that I just finished for a coworker of my husbands. He called me to ask if I would make a quilt using fabrics from their kids & grandkids clothing......I am a sucker for sentimental things, so I couldn't possibly say no. AND he gathered almost all the fabrics himself & his wife doesn't know anything about it....it will be a surprise on their anniversary May31st. It really was a joy to make for him.

That is simply beautiful and what a wonderful thing for the husband to do!

You did a wonderful thing here, and a marvelous job!

What a beautiful quilt and a wonderful heirloom. You did such a great job and your quilting is awesome. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

That's cool I'm sure his wife is going to need lots of tissue when she see's this beauty you've created.

its just beautiful

Your husbands co worker must be a wonderful guy. His wife will be totally surprised and so happy!!

How sweet! She's going to love it!! Great job on the quilting!

How wonderful... She is going to be soooooo touched by his thoughtfulness and your work

Beautifully done!!!! You are such a sweetheart to have made this for her :D :D :D

Thank you all for your kind comments.....but don't be fooled. While it is true I am very sentimental & loved the idea of this quilt, I did get compensated nicely for my work. $$$$$ hehehe!!

How delightful to be able to make a sentimental gift for a co-worker, AND to be paid for it!

What a wonderful and thoughtful man. You did a fantastic job.

Hi Jaynie,

What a work of art. I assume that his passion is fishing and her occupation or passion is nursing? This will have such meaning for both of them.

Nice job!

Beautiful!

What a wonderful quilt :!: You did a great job :D

Jaynie, it is beautiful! Did you do your own quilting? The stippling looks perfect!

Jaynie,

I love your quilt. And how great that there are empty blocks for future family members!! Sure to be a cherished heirloom!

Thanks ya'll, and yes I do my own quilting on my Gammill Premier Plus & the nurse fabric is because she is a traveling nurse & he is soon to retire and loves to fish. He actually gave it to her early & he told my husband that she loved it.

That is such a sweet quilt!!
