Kathy is technically my aunt but since she is only 4 years older than me, we grew up as sisters. I adore her. She loves tea and is a real Anglophile, we share a love of Victoria magazine and all things pretty. I had been working on this tea quilt for her and then learned she had been searching for a afghan in blackwatch plaid. So I ordered fabric for her for the backing.
When I finished the quilt, I still had some pieces of the plaid left so made her a couple of throw pillows featuring her favorite tv show: Downton Abby!
I gave her "unbirthday" gift yesterday and she loved it. It is so much fun making unexpected gifts for loved ones. Just made my day!
The tea quilt and the pillows turned out great - your cousin-sister looks pretty happy with her gift!
ReplyDeleteI wish my aunt was near my age, lol - she's so fun to be with! The quilt and pillows turned out beautifully!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and thoughtful gift for your aunt -- my sisters are all tea drinkers, and they would love this quilt.
ReplyDeletehow fun! I am an anglophile too. And I'm the barely older aunt in our family!
