I can now post the pictures of the V-Dub quilt I made for Ashley. I was going to send it to her for Christmas but decided I really wanted to see her face when she opened it. So...when we went to Arizona with Reid I took the quilt. You can see the pictures Reid took of her opening it on his blog. Yes, she loved it. This pic shows the front and the back. Ashley had helped me pick out the backing, the smiley faces and some of the "bug" material. I really had a lot of fun putting it together.
The original pattern just called for 9 "bugs" and the squares were to be butted up against each other. But I wanted a lap quilt rather than a wall hanging for Ashley so I added the sashings and 3 more "bugs". As you can see, four have scenic backgrounds and the rest sky material. We have the beach, where we lived and played while in Washington. Then there is the Arizona sunset, where Ashley now lives. We have the tree background like where we lived in Washington and of course, the rock and canyon background, somewhat like where we live now.
Here's Ashley rubbing Ricks foot. She is a great massage therapist! And I just love her hair! She looks really great. We really enjoyed going down to Scottsdale to see her.
We were so glad Reid came out for his spring break! But sorry Melissa couldn't come with him. He hates having his picture taken so don't expect great smiles from him. Both the pictures of the kids were taken in our hotel room in Scottsdale. Ashley was able to get us in at the Hyatt Place. We had a terrific room. A king size bed and a sitting room with a sofa/sleeper. It was so nice having time with both of our kids.
