The slow change









We've been putting out one item per week into the baby room (and a little more because I cheated last week and put out five items... I just couldn't resist). And yesterday I made a quilt (the one Leo is holding). The front is from a baby bumper I bought a long time ago and decided against (second hand) because I found something cuter, the material from our old couch I reupholstered when we first got married, a piece of quilt material that Pam made and Big Leonard was selling as scrap in the garage sale, and a remnant of fleece (inside) from a quilt I made for Ryan for his graduation. This silly quilt has become all of a sudden so meaningful to me. Seems like it was all meant for each other too as the pieces matched up almost perfectly. I'd like to think it was a quilt Pam would have made (and partially did). Gosh, do I miss her. Lot's of tears went into this little quilt.

You should replace the quilt on the wall,above the bed, with this quilt you made. It is so much cuter and meaningful. I am so glad you had the time to put it all together and that a part of Pam's love for you and her grandbaby will be in the room to welcome the baby. The room is looking so nice!!! When the big bed is out of there it will be so roomy and just perfect. What a great way to put the room together and enjoy each and every blessing you have already been given to welcome your gift from God! I love you animals theme.
