Someday the above cathedral window quilt will be adorning our bed. Cool eh? Chris' mom intended the quilt to be our wedding present but it's turning into more of a first anniversary present.
Neither Chris nor I knew much about quilting when she first made her generous quilting offer so we unknowingly requested one of the most tricky and time consuming quilts out there. I'm sure she was thinking we would choose a nice wedding ring or sawtooth star pattern but nooooooo... we just had to be difficult. All her extra effort has been worth it though (to me at least!). The quilt looks fantastic and I'm completely in love with it. I can't wait till we take full custody of it and can put these short holiday visits behind us.

Chris' parents also offered us his grandmother's wrought iron bed. It had a nasty run in with some glittery copper car paint, but once we have it sandblasted it will look awesome with the cathedral window quilt. It's also missing its bedknobs and my search for an online bedknob retailer isn't bearing much fruit. Anyone know where we can find some?

Thanks, I'm bidding on one now. It doesn't close for 6 days and is already 62 bucks. I have a feeling I'll be paying too much for it once its all said and done. Its the PG5 model and brand new so I guess I don't mind the price as long as I can get one. Oh the things I do for crafting.

Elissa has taken up needlecraft, and I'm always astonished by what an innate understanding of the artform she has, just being a Midwesterner and all.
