ashleylovesceline Posted October 22, 2010 at 05:48 AM Posted October 22, 2010 at 05:48 AM I think Ashley has sent the card so I'm hoping that will arrive this week :amuse:Yes, I did. You should get it soon, I hope! Let's all pray they read the "DO NOT BEND" I wrote on it... I find that even if I write "Do not bend", I still put 2 pieces of cardboard in the envelope so it truly does not bend! Thanks Ashley for making the beautiful card! I didn't realize my name took up THAT much space, up & down wise!or else I would've written it all in one line. Hahaha. But that's how I normally do my signature... & messier of course! Frida - looking forward to seeing the 1st quilt!Yes, I know. I sent it in a sturdy photo mailer though... so let's hope it makes the journey! My pleasure, thank you! Your signature was fine, lol.

Frida Posted October 23, 2010 at 01:49 PM Author Posted October 23, 2010 at 01:49 PM It looks really really off when photographed, but oh well... Front of number #1. I'm gonna iron it slightly, but other than that it should be done... http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p234/celinedion_56/DSC_0506.jpg Back of #2. Some hand sewing left at the bottom + ironing (blurred the names in case someone would like to remain anonymous). http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p234/celinedion_56/DSC_0511.jpg I hope you think it's alright, it's extremely difficult when not all fabrics are 100% cotton...

Frida Posted October 23, 2010 at 05:49 PM Author Posted October 23, 2010 at 05:49 PM Aaah, I'm so relieved you guys think it's okay, you have no idea how ashamed and disappointed I am... Had it not been for all the time, money and energy you guys have put into this it would've been in the trashbin by now. I'm not kidding when I say I spend 45 minutes crying before i posted the pics... THANK YOU for thinking it's decent enough to send...

Flaca Posted October 23, 2010 at 06:23 PM Posted October 23, 2010 at 06:23 PM Frida, what are you talking about? That quilt is wonderful, you did a great job. Although I couldn't take part in this project, I'm very happy with the result. The card is very nice too, you guys should be very proud. I'm sure Céline will love this gift.

J-Man Posted October 24, 2010 at 07:58 AM Posted October 24, 2010 at 07:58 AM Frida, that quilt looks fabulous. Gosh you really must be a perfectionist. Can't imagine why you think people would want their involvment to be kept secret though. Anyone here would be proud to have their name on these blankets!

Frida Posted October 24, 2010 at 08:33 AM Author Posted October 24, 2010 at 08:33 AM Thank you all so so much, as long as you're happy that's all that matters... I had a thought this morning, doesn't sending the quilts (can't believe one of them was finished jus hours before the twins' birth) and leaving RC with nothing feel wrong? I could buy a white hand towel today and embroider "World's best brother" on it, to dry the sweat with out on the golf course or something I don't know, it just feels a little mean to ignore him...

Okay that is a really good idea. I would put World's best big brother, as I think that'll make him feel more grown up and important to the twins in my opinion, and every kid likes that!

Frida Posted October 24, 2010 at 08:42 AM Author Posted October 24, 2010 at 08:42 AM Yeah I thoguht of that at first, just wanted to keep the text as short as possible But yes, you're right, it should be "big brother" Quote http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p234/celinedion_56/tcc2copy3_zps08f18352.pnghttp://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p234/celinedion_56/tccgallery-1.png

J-Man Posted October 24, 2010 at 08:47 AM Posted October 24, 2010 at 08:47 AM (edited) Say the word if you need extra money for this. I'd be more than happy to contribute again. We want the best quality we can afford and no reason why you should get caught to foot the bill alone.

Frida Posted October 24, 2010 at 09:23 AM Author Posted October 24, 2010 at 09:23 AM Thank you so much for offering, but it won't cost much. I'll try to stop by a particular store today, they carry affordable but nice quality towels (and no, I'm not talking about IKEA ) I'll get one and we'll see how it looks, and if you don't like it we won't sent it, but it could be worth a try. I'd hate for him to feel left out. Btw, should we go for a white towel with the same thread as on the quilts, or some other colour combination?

Davey84 Posted October 24, 2010 at 09:56 AM Posted October 24, 2010 at 09:56 AM white would be nice, but a cool colour like dark blue or flaming red would be awesome too!

Frida Posted October 24, 2010 at 10:47 AM Author Posted October 24, 2010 at 10:47 AM I wish we knew what his favorite colour is... I lost it again. Just finished sewing together quilt #2 (yes people, we are DONE), and as I was cutting the thread, turning off the lights and walking out of the sewing room the last tunes of "If I could" was playing... The tears just started flooding, I'm such a wreck Quote http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p234/celinedion_56/tcc2copy3_zps08f18352.pnghttp://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p234/celinedion_56/tccgallery-1.png
anewdayhascome Posted October 24, 2010 at 11:46 AM Posted October 24, 2010 at 11:46 AM Frida you are the best! Can't wait for them to have the quilts:) And, I agree, it'd be awesome to enclose sth for RC but indeed it's a shame we don't know his favourite colour...

ashleylovesceline Posted October 24, 2010 at 12:28 PM Posted October 24, 2010 at 12:28 PM Sending something for RC is a great idea... I can't believe we didn't think of that sooner! Maybe use his school colors, or his baseball team's colors? Quote
wunderbarCéline Posted October 24, 2010 at 12:51 PM Posted October 24, 2010 at 12:51 PM Frida, you did an amazing job! The quilts look wonderful!! Thank you so much, you're the BEST!! I agree that we should give a little gift to René-Charles. I don't know what his favourite colour is, but I have 3 boys and they all like (dark)blue. I think you can't do anything wrong with that colour, but that's just my personal opinion of course. Quote http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/3203/clinedionrl4.jpg
