| Our son and his wife are expecting in March! I had a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt in my finished stash. We went to visit them and I took the quilt along with a copy of the Very Hungry Caterpillar book that belonged to my son when he was young. He said it was his favorite book. I washed the quilt before giving it to them so it is now soft and cuddly.
I entered the quilt in a quilt show in 2009 and it won a blue ribbon. The link shows it hanging at the quilt show. The blue around it is the quilt that is hanging behind it. Linda OH |
