It was Christmas, and we were wishing we could spend it with
our kids who were halfway around the world from us. Our boiler was out (again)
and we were feeling a little sorry for ourselves. If life has taught me
anything, it’s that the best way to cheer yourself up is to look for someone
else who might need cheering. Our neighbors had just brought home a tiny baby
girl, and they weren’t able to travel to be with their family. So the six of us
had Christmas dinner together. I don’t remember what I cooked, but the pork pie
they shared was the best I’ve ever tasted. I made this baby quilt for their
little girl out of scraps from Marti Michell’s American Beauty quilt, and also
from her Romance Continues line. I didn’t have quite enough of the dark pink
sashing, so I used a slightly lighter print for five of them, forming a subtle
letter “E” in the center.
