my song

I have been following Ashley for a few years now at Under the Sycamore.  If you don't already know Ashley you must go and visit her blog.  I recommend getting a cup of coffee and a comfy reading spot  because if you are anything like me - you will be there for hours.  This is one blog (along with a few others) that I check everyday for crafting ideas, photography tips and a peak into her adorable family.

Lately I have quilts on my mind.  I want my home to filled with stacks and stacks of quilts.  I want my kids to reach for a handmade quilt and feel the love that went into making each one.  Over the last few months I have made a few quilts that sit in our family room (more about those another day) and the kids have happily claimed their favourites.

One day Ashley had posted an update about her new daughter who they finally brought home from China after a {very} long wait.  She was sitting on a quilt called My Song that was made in her honour. I knew this would be my next quilt.  I have my fabric cut out and am working to get it pieced together.  I cannot wait to see it finished!    


Look at that picture - that is one proud big sister :)
