A QUILT FOR LARESSA

Laressa lives in Myrtle Beach and has always helped me

with my resort reservations when I visit Eric

She also looks after him and treats him like one of her own.

Last Christmas when I visited, she said, I have a wish

for next Christmas.  I’d love a quilt.

And so that wish is being granted. 

I had some batiks in beachy colors

that were perfect for her quilt.

A quick and easy patter

and this one was finished in no time.

I even had enough batiks for a backing

and binding.

For this one I sewed the binding by machine. 

I forgot to take a picture of the finished quilt but

you can see here...it's a great finish.

Laressa wasn't at the beach in October, when I visited.

So I've left this one with my Elf, Eric, to give to her for Christmas.
