The Lovely Lady Lap Quilt
So here is the lap quilt I made for my co-worker’s mother. It has been confirmed by several independent sources that is quite lovely, which makes me very happy. It also made me so happy to do this for my co-worker, mostly because this quilt should guarantee him “Favorite Son of the Year” status over his brothers, and who doesn’t love that?
