The funeral for my mother-in-law's husband was really nice. It was a funeral, which, by definition, is never "really nice," but Ron was loved by so many and it was touching to hear inspiring stories from his children and close friends. He is dearly missed. And we are deeply saddened for Mark's mom.
Mark's sisters, Erin and April, flew in from Canada for the funeral and I decided I should finish my nephew's quilt so I could send it home with April. Her baby, Charles Golden, is one year! We will meet him next month when April brings all the kids down for a more relaxed visit.
The pattern is Camille's "Abundance."
Model is from our in-house agency.

Did Charles or George get to be golden first? How much did the quilt go for? I love school auctions.
Goerge is 3 months older than Charles.
School auctions are, indeed, great. Lots of deals to be had. Let's just say the quilt sold for less than half of what I would sell it for. C'est la vie.
Yes, I love school auctions for the bargains, but it is a horrible model for raising money. Very wasteful.
You are a saint to donate one of your quilts to the school!! A saint I tell you. I am sorry about your loss.
angie,
thank you! a saint probably wouldn't have worried about what the quilt sold for. saints are much to humble to be worried about such matters. you are too kind.
I think that that quilt is one of my favorites. Love the blue - and the in home model too! Next time you auction one of those I'll go and help raise the bid...I'm no saint, I think they should go for $$$$$$$.
Gorgeous quilt, Sarah! One day you'll have to give classes on how to make such beauties--(the quilts, not the cute kids-ha).
And again, so sorry to hear about Mark's step-dad. A sudden passing is such a trial.
You should name it, "I'm beautiful and I quilt, oh and I have twin toddlers, don't hate me."
ha!
i like nancy's comment. i don't know how you have the time with the twins! i really love the blues of the quilt.
is golden a family name for them or did she just like it?
she just liked it.
I third (?) Nancy's comment--I keep asking for your time management secrets, but thus far you are very stingy with them. Love the quilt! I am also sad for your family's loss. It sounds like Mark and his mom have a wonderful family around them, and I'm glad for that. Give him our best.
