I can't believe she made it, well I can because she is very clever . . . anyway, its this gorgeous, shabby chic, girly pretty, comforter for the Princess's bed.
The underside is pink gingham, so pretty! Its all I need on her bed at the moment because it is so warm here at night. In the winter I will fold it and have it sitting on the end of the bed.
We all want one!!!
A few posts back I showed you my Christmas presents, well here is a close up of the ornamental shoe Gamma gave me.
Isn't it stunning! The heel and body part of the shoe are ceramic, the toe and embellishments are all fabric, braids and lace. It has sewn a seed, thinking, thinking . . .
We are having a great summer, its hot, hot, hot here right now, just lovely, we have our little pool up and the Princess and I have been having fun playing in it and cooling off.
Our children don't start back at school until early February. I am loving having the Princess home, no getting up early, getting dressed early or making school lunches!!! Bliss or as my best friend Mary Thistle says "Heaven on a Stick".
I am off to bed, a big day tomorrow, stuff to do, places to go, people to see . . . you know how it goes . . .
Take Care, Bye for Now

Sweet little quilt! Reminds me of when I was little. Enjoy your summer :)
oh, that quilt is just lovely!!!
Hi Rachael, The bedcover is gorgeous, what a lovely gift. I love the shoe too, its so pretty. You would definately have to pop round to Chez Kitten for cocktails, such a shame we live so far apart. X
Isn't that just the most perfect quilt for a 'Princess'? She is one lucky litle girl.
Thanks for stopping by to ask how I am. I'm going well but looking forward to getting out of bed in 2 weeks. I'll never take my legs for granted again!! Hopefully by March I will be back to normal.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Ask her if she would like to adopt me and my daughters as grandchildren too. The quilt is gorgeous to say the least. Beautiful.
I am SO loving that bed quilt Rachael! When I finish work at the end of January I hoping to be able to do some sewing projects like that in my spare time :-)
What a great quilt! The shoe is amazing too!
What a beautiful quilt and to think it will be an heirloom someday!
Hugs,
LeAnn:)

Hi Rachael, oh my gosh the comforter your grandma made is gorgeous. I love love love it. The shoe is divine as well. Such talented and creative works. Treasures to keepsake forever.
