My Portrait Quilt from MamaCJT

I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened a package this weekend from my friend,

Carol...aka MamaCJT.

She told me "something" was on its way to me, but I never,
in my wildest dreams, could have imagined it would be THIS:

She captured all my favorites & features beautifully in this mini-quilt.
My naturally curly BLONDE hair, my BLUE eyes, my love of RED lipstick &
polka-dot dishes along with some LIME GREEN & WHITE ones.

She even paid homage to my nursing career with that cap
as well as my fondness for sewing...
check out the real button earrings & the textured floss for thread.
She even knew that I wear BLACK often...(its slimming, ya' know!)




I have her hung right next to my polka-dot items on the bakers rack in the kitchen.


She's staying there until everyone in the family visits & gets to see her,
then I maybe will let her come stay with me in the sewing room.

I don't know, though, because I smile whenever I walk past her.
Lord knows, I've been spending more time in the kitchen
than in the sewing room lately, too.

Be sure to hop over to Carols cute blog to see the
process she goes through as she
made this & other wonderful portrait mini-quilts.




She is doing a mini series of ladies faces in quilts.
She is an amazing talent with more creativity in her
pinky finger than I'll ever have in my lifetime!

Thank you, Carol, from the bottom of my ♥!
