super pretty quilt, and super super adorable pretty little girl.

Does she like to sew? Can she use the machine yet? I am hoping to teach Sarah and Lauren (10 and 7) how to use the machine this Summer. Just the basics on a mechanical machine.

It should be a blast!

Thanks, Rosemary. She can use the machine, but not on her own yet. We have plans to do a project together sometime. But most often she is playing piano these days.

I love how this all came together, Rachel! My favorite photo is the quilt held over and reflected in the water. So lovely!

I am in love with the dogwood flower block! Do you have instructions for it?

Rachel LaBour's avatar

Yes, I do! That block was created as part of my Nineteen Thirty quilt pattern: https://www.stitchedincolor.com/patterns/nineteen-thirty

I remember when you became unhappy with your project years ago and scrapped the idea because it wasn’t feeling right! Bringing these blocks back out, gave you the opportunity to rework your magic and create this beautiful quilt! It is sew much a part of who you are and what you love! 💗 It’s such a wonderful surprise to see Elora pictured here today too! I see so much of Aria and Liam in her! She’s absolutely precious, Rachel! Enjoy your little vacation, it looks like a beautiful place to be!

Love this quilt! The colors and arrangement is gorgeous. Also, love the back!! Your little girl is beautiful. I have been following you since way back in South Carolina. I am a lover of scrappy quilts.

Elora looks charming and so nice she is interested in what you do. The quilt is so lovely with so many messages held within its stitching.

Enjoy your break away.
