Ollie's Photo Quilt

SPRING 2011

My friend Heidi's mom, Jane, wanted to make Oliver a photo quilt to hang on his wall. I gathered some photos, mainly of him and his hobbies and sent them to her. She created this GORGEOUS quilt for Oliver that my mom and I helped her tie at her home a few months ago. I thought I'd take some close up pictures so you can appreciate the quality and love that went into making it. THANK YOU, JANE!!!
