Trista: She's one of those people you hate only because she's so stinkin' talented. Our whole lives it's seemed that she can pick up any new thing and just be naturally good at it. She's an amazing student, has a beautiful voice, quilts, plays the piano, crafts......yada yada yada. I used to be jealous (and maybe I still am in some ways) but I won't complain one bit. Here is why:
She made this amazing blanket for our little Daxton!
You can't see the different fabric textures from this picture, but it's pretty awesome. She spent countless hours on it embroidering the little details. She embroidered around all the stars, boat and fishing pole, as well as the words, and the fishing line. The stars are all hand sewn too. I don't even want to think about how much you would pay someone to make a custom blanket like this.
This boat has a "license plate" saying the state and birthdate and also the boats name is Daxton Glen. Clever right?
And this fish has his birth stats on it.
Tell me you aren't jealous. I wish I could do this handiwork and I'm sure with a good teacher and a whole lot of practice I could get there some day, but I will forever be indebted to her and all the hours she put into making this blanket. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
