A Present

We were so blessed to receive a beautiful gift for Lyra in the mail when we returned home from Virginia.   I grew up in Upstate New York and our family was friends with the Ellis family.  I took my first steps in their living room.   Whenever I go home, I always go visit Becky (the mother of the family).   She still lives in their beautiful home and I love going there to visit.   Becky is a master quilter- she sews the most gorgeous quilts you can imagine by hand- they are truly works of art.    She has sent each of the children a baby quilt- each quilt is just as beautiful as the last.  I should get a picture of all 4 quilts together.   At any rate, here is Lyra wrapped in her new quilt.

(This is not the best picture because you can’t see the design Becky quilted- I’ll have to take another picture of it later.)
