Meet Renda

Renda is Kelsey's roommate. She is in the same nursing class as Kelsey, so they are able to ride to class and study together.  It is really important to have a study pal in nursing--so that works out great.

Renda asked Kelsey if I would make her a quilt if she purchased the fabric. I told Kelsey I probably had fabric I could use. Then I remembered the On Eagle's Wings quilt that I had started.

The story . . .

This quilt started out as a wedding present for a cousin. Then I wasn't sure if the bride and groom would appreciate the time and love that goes into it--so I decided not to give it away.  About that time I looked over some of Kelsey's high school stuff and came across the ad I placed in her yearbook. The ad had the song lyrics from "On Eagles Wings" to remind her who to rely on.

I decided to add the song lyrics to the quilt.  Then I let it lay around for awhile trying to decide what borders I wanted to add.

Enter Renda and her request for a quilt. When I asked what kind of quilt she wanted--Kelsey said she loved penguins. So my first response was to look for a penguin pattern. Then I decided that may be too seasonal. And I realized that the verse on this quilt would be a perfect reminder for Renda, just like Kelsey. So what to do . . .

Why, add penguins of course. lol  I think I added 8 different penguin scenes.

So last night she finally received her quilt. I think she loved it.

Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting.
