A Quilt For Kai!

The last Blog Topic of the week was "One of the best gifts I ever received was..."  and I must say that the quilt that I received last week, all ready to welcome little baby Kai, qualifies as one of the most meaningful , beautiful surprises ever!

Artella's own Tammy Hensley put together quilt blocks made by some wonderful Artella friends, and the result is a fabulous ocean-themed quilt, which is fitting because Kai - our baby boy's name - means "ocean" in Hawaii'an.

When I can, I'll take some close-up pics so you can see the individual blocks.  But you can see a full-size image of the quilt here, in Tammy's blog.  and I encourage you to leave a comment to give Tammy a pat on the back for her beautiful work!) 

Kai isn't due until early May, but I've been on bedrest because I've had early labor symptoms.  I think he just wants to come out and see his quilt!

Thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful project.  We'll cherish this quilt forever!

What a wonderful thought! May the quilt nestle around him like love... and you think again how very blessed and beloved you are, Marney, whenever you see it.

Love to you and yours, Constance

While I'm waiting for Kai's arrival, I thought I could make good on the promise I made in this

Marney,

Thank you for sharing details of each quilt block in this special quilt Tammy created. Each block is wonderful and I love seeing the creative work of every person who made a block. Focusing on the quilt should bring you many peaceful moments until the joyful day when he arrives!
