Twins!

My Friend Ayana,  gave birth to TWIN BOYS on Dec. 2nd, She had been on bed rest for over a month, and she still had the babies early. Each babe weighed 3lbs each....!! So tiny! They are breathing on their own, and doing really well, but will have at least a month or so in the hospital before they come  home...
I'm going up to see them on Monday after I distribute more BASICS quilts!

I had been saving this quilt for them, and now that I know what their names will be, I am adding their initials to the quilt.
These fabrics were from Thomas Knauer's Flock collections, paired with a nice soft blue/green gingham, and the block I used to make this is "Birds in the Air." A great block that gives you a lot of options for play, depending on how you lay it out..

I ran to the store the other day to find a water soluble marker to draw some quilting on on a quilt, this marker is from Clover Water Erasable Marker (Fine)...

Using Aurifil Thread 12 weight 2810., I'll embroider the babes initials on the quilt... I'm hoping it will be a throw around, and be spit up upon kind of quilt for the two of them. ;-) I like my quilts to beloved!
