Because this is my quilting diary. I want to keep things documented correctly. We went to visit my son and daughter-in-law in March. I had something for each of their pups-- Monogrammed Dog collars, something for Eric... and I wanted Carolyn to have something as well.
Eric has always been very cautious and stated, " Don't decorate Carolyn's house.... let her do it." I completely get it and respect what he means. I still laugh when we are all together and and someone will look at Carolyn and look at me when we are having a discussion and then turn to Eric and say, " My God, you have married your mother..." While I don't know how Carolyn feels about it-- I taken it as the utmost in compliments.
Back to the quilt. It was Wednesday before we were to leave on Friday morning when I whipped up four blocks and quilted the piece. My the end of March-- Everyone will welcome anything that says Springtime.... I was literally stitching down the binding in the car on the road trip. That's why I only have the cell phone pictures.
A little nervous, I thought about what Eric said --- and still remained confident the table topper was the right call....
And it was. She loved it.

She's a very lucky gal to have such a wonderful MIL!
Cute table topper and it is hard as a parent to not want to give them something you have made. How cute his wife and you are so much alike.
Of course she loved ... how could she not? ;-) I love the label, too.
Melanie, that is just lovely! I would be happy to be the Carolyn that received that table topper, you could decorate my house any time. It's nice to see your quilts, I should go and post what I've made in the last year and a half on my blog...although other than a baby quilt, I'm not sure there's anything to post!
