Right under my nose

My husband and I never give gifts to another on our anniversary. He's got me, what more could the man want? hehe This year he pulled a fast one. Let me back up. You've seen my post about the Nauvoo blanket Clare gave me for Christmas. We put it at the foot of our bed. It clashed with the quilt I had so we thought about getting something else to cover our bed. I decided a yellow bedspread would do it. Couldn't find one. No problem. I have a white comforter upstairs that I put on the bed with the blanket on top. Looks great!

On Saturday afternoon Clare came over with the kids for the weekend. She's working on a queen-sized lightweight "quilt." I asked who she was making it for and she answered it was for herself to brighten up their bedroom. Nice! Their bedroom could use it. She worked on it and started tying the thing but didn't finish on Saturday night. I even saw my sweetie helping her finish the tying on Sunday night. I almost fell over.

The Gourleys stayed Sunday night as well. Monday morning Clare is up early with B and comes downstairs as I'm getting up. She hands this BIG gift bag to my husband who hands it to me. It's that beautiful YELLOW quilt that Clare had been making right under my nose. I raised a liar! Or maybe not, just a little fib to throw mom off the track.

Below you will find the finished product with both the Nauvoo blanket on and off.

I have a really talented daughter. Thank you Clare!
