WHO SHARES YOUR BIRTHDAY?

A good friend told me, at a recent birthday gathering,

that her sister was a first time grandma!

The baby boy was born on my birthday.

Without a moments hesitation I said,

"I must give him one of my quilts".

Arthur Jack Good was born May 1 2018

I was born May 1, 1951

I made this quilt several years ago.

It has been in a storage tub, just waiting for the 

perfect baby to receive it!

Alexander Henry car fabrics...

but I don't remember the name.

''

And the backing was stash fabric

and worked out just fine.

I used a brown thread for a meandering FMQ design.

And addied some large ric rack as sensory tabs

for the baby to play with.

I used my Bernina text capability to add the baby's name 

and birthdate on the bottom right border.

My name is on the side border.

Makes a quick and easy label.

I also made a card that says...

You and Me....

...share the same birthday!

Added a little personal note inside for the baby

and why I gave him the quilt.

I may never meet "Baby Good", but that is not what matters.

I  "paid it forward" by giving a child a quilt!

Hopefully a cherished treasure for years to come.

And now my friend knows the answer to a question 
she has asked more than once. 

"What are you gonna do with all the quilts you make?
