Thankful Thursday

Last week, my dad, my sister, my sister's husband, and their three boys came to visit me here in Colorado! I hadn't seen my sister since 2004, even though we talk at least once a week on the phone, and I hadn't seen my dad in over 10 years. I had never met my sister's husband or kids, so it was an exciting time. 

My sister is always telling me how sweet her mother-in-law, Lucy, is. She does a lot of really kind things for a lot of people. I hope I get a chance to meet her one of these days.

Anyway, the first evening I went over to the house my sister was renting, she gave me a gift from Lucy. I had seen this beautiful cat quilt Lucy had posted on her Facebook page back in February and commented that I wish I could make one because it is so cool. 

Lucy made me one!!

I could only get half of the quilt in the photo at a time. 

I think Giovanni loves this cat quilt as much as I do! Every day when I put it on my bed, he curles right up on it. 

This gift was so touching to me. I know it had to take Lucy many hours and much effort to make this gorgeous quilt, and I appreciate her for doing so. She is a very sweet woman.

You can find the quilt tutorial right here.

What are you all thankful for today?
