It Only Took Two Years

But here it is, Abby's hand-quilted baby quilt:

I also made this quilt for her and had it machine quilted before she was born:
Recently I sewed these and then stapled them around wood frames and hung them above Abby's crib:
Well, that concludes this session of Sewing Love for Abby.

OH MY BEAUTIFUL! Is that the quilt you were hand stiching when I was there. It looks amazing. I really really love the flower quilt too. I love them all. Oh, can I copy the flower idea you did above Abby's bed? I have some left over fabric from her quilt and am trying to do up her room. I never decorated a nursery for her so am trying to catch up...do you mind? I really like that idea.

Hava - I'm happy to help you make a quilt!

Joy - You go girl, no worries about doing the same for Anne that I did for Abby. If you have an Ikea near you, you can get the wood frames there and they're really inexpensive.

Meet Daniel and Brittany

The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.

Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.

After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.

Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
