My goodness what a little sweetie pie she is! Love that cute pink outfit!<br /><br />OK, so the quilt. I really was looking! It is a great quilt and I'm sure your dad will enjoy it, hopefully, for many, many years to come. It is hard to watch our parents get old. But making a quilt for him is a really nice thing. I love the fabrics, the quilting and the colors. Beautiful finish!

We took care of my dad - he refused to go into a home. In the end we had Respite come and help, just to have a bit of a break, but to assure he had nursing thru his doctor.
