a quilt for Elodie

A very lovely reader Danielle emailed me and asked had I made a quilt for Elodie. Sadly, no. There just hasn’t been enough time and you might remember I seemed to have the fastest pregnancy on record. So she asked would I like a quilt that she’d made that was sitting in her cupboard. Oh would I ever but it was such a generous offer………….

dress from country road – thanks grandmummy
and oh wow it is such a beautiful quilt. Linen and liberty half square triangles and oh so beautifully made. Danielle even appliqued a little russian doll on the bag it came in! And I knew as soon as it arrived that it deserved a little photo shoot with my little model Elodie.
happy
she loves it!
And as you can tell Elodie has no problems in the growing department. Lots of little rolls of baby fat and oh her thighs are too cute for words! How do babies get such cute little thighs…oh to have such cute thighs!!!  Elodie you are not helping me agree with retro daddy that there will be no more babies, not helping at all. I could have a few babies if they were all as cute and placid as you are.

this hair is still growing
And she is such a happy little model that we even had time for a quick wardrobe change into a little fuschia number by gymboree. I also love that Elodie is revealing her love affair with ceilings, lights, walls…..she’ll stare and giggle at them as if they were a person and it’s so funny to watch.
 
loves ceilings and walls
So thank you, thank you, thank you Danielle. It is the most beautiful little quilt that Elodie will keep forever. And isn’t that the beauty of a quilt….clothes and toys will come and go but a beautifully made quilt can last forever.

    You made me laugh though. Our fourth child was super easy too. I said to a lot of people that she was our gift from God to help Steve want more. Maybe Elodie will help Retro Daddy say the same thing.

    After all, I am mum2eight now.

  23. That babe is just too darn sweet!! My son was a real chub and we couldn’t get enough of the kissing and snuggling. And that quilt is gorgeous. Liberty and linen, it just makes me drool. Does Danielle want to be my friend? lol

  31. Oh your little girl is so beautiful.
    Little girls should have those little elastic band rolls, I know mine did.
