A Quilt for Baby

Baby showers are definitely a highlight of pregnancy. It’s a time for friends and family to “shower” the parents-to-be with love and congratulatory celebration. Plus, I’m not going to lie … opening all the cute and fun to play with gifts is a huge plus of any baby shower. Thom and I sure have received some wonderful and very thoughtful gifts and it is because of the thoughtfulness of our friends and family that we have been able to collect all the major necessities for the arrival of our little baby boy. We couldn’t be more thankful for their willingness to celebrate with us in anticipation and for being so generous.

I have appreciated everything we have received so far, but I was truly touched by one gift I received during my recent shower hosted by my boss at the office. One of my co-workers made the most beautiful quilt for baby Marshall. I cannot believe the detail in the handcrafted project and can only imagine the amount of time it took her to complete.  I never would have expected a co-worker to go to such great lengths to complete something so wonderful for my new bundle of joy. It will truly be a treasure for me and I’m sure Marshall will love it! A huge thank you goes out to Linda Gagnon for her hard and very beautiful work.
