Snapshots QAL finish!

I finished my Snapshots quilt, yay!

It all began with choosing my fabric for each block.

I used all of Bonnie and Camille's fabric, but they were from lots of different lines.  

They all go together so well!

I love this little "bug"!  

I decided to make this quilt for my new daughter in law, Kari.

I knew that heart had to have some embroidery, and so I did :)

I really love all the colors in this quilt, red and aqua, with touches of green and orange.

Don't you love the bicycle?

I fashioned it after my own...

The bicycle block is to remind Kari that she still needs to learn how to ride one, lol.

I know that Kari loves soft!

I put a beautiful soft aqua minky on the back.

My friend Cindy, did an outstanding machine quilting job!

She is very talented.

You can see the machine quilting a little better in this photo.

The hot air balloon represents travelling home to Costa Rica, to visit.

That's where Kari's from, only a year ago!

I sewed the camera label on the back.

Here's the closeup :)

This quilt took me a year and a half to make! 

It was hard to give away...because I love it so much.

I embroidered Kari and Sean's wedding date under the cake.

I had the best surprise on Christmas eve!

I was expecting a friend to come over any minute, to borrow some tape.

I was walking toward the front door when it opened.

I thought it was strange that my friend would walk in...

I said come in, and then realized it wasn't my friend's husband, it was my son Sean!!!!  and Kari!!!!

What an incredible surprise!

I was the only one who didn't know, lol!

It was the best gift ever!!!

We were also blessed with a visit from our daughter Lindsay and our son in law Jeremy and their 4 perfect kids!

My father in law spent Christmas with us too, and that was wonderful.

Here is Kari with her quilt, she loves it too!
