Stolen Show-and-Tell

I didn’t steal the actual shown-and-tell. 

I’m just going to show someone else’s show-and-tell.  I have been too busy to finish my own things and anything I have been finishing can’t be shown quite yet, so that’s my justification for stealing someone else’s show-and-tell.  That someone is my sister, so I’m pretty sure she won’t mind.  She’s been on a mission to finish a few things.  She has a deadline, with her second baby due within the next month.

That means little Addi is moving to her big girl bed and needed a new quilt for her bed. 

My sister chose to make the Sunday Picnic quilt from my book Livin’ Large.   (The book came out last fall)

Here’s the original –

 

Lindsey chose to use the fabric Objects of Desire by Sandy Gervais.

 

The fabric is very bright and cheerful, and if you look closely, you will find little high-heeled shoes.  I quilted it with lots of flowers and I let the brown pop so it would stand out.

 

Addi tested the quilt out, but prefered to use the lattice as a road for Thomas and Rosie.  (Trains are the current toy of choice at Grandma’s house right now)

 

Even though we all think she looks great, I didn’t think my sister would want a current, very pregnant picture of her on the web so this is one of my favorite shots of her and Addi.  I took the picture last summer – and wow has Addi changed!

 

I love this shot of them too, taken a month or so ago.

Little does Addi know that it won’t just be her and mom anymore . . . .   Things are about to change in a big way!

 

Sorry, I’m getting off the subject of this post. 

 

I have one more of my Sister’s quilts for show-and-tell.

It’s Square Dance, again from the book Livin’ Large.  Here’s the original –

 

My Sister’s version uses the last line that I designed with my Mom, called Rebel Roses.

 

The large squares in this pattern are perfect for showing off the large-scale rose prints

 

and some machine quilting!

 

I think Addi approves!

 

Either that or she just really likes Peet-a-Boo
