All Things Vada (posted by Grandma Lorri)

We celebrated Vada's baptism August 18.  She was so good!

Here are a few pictures:

Stephanie, Clinton and Vada

Vada with her Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma Von Soosten

Kristy does love her nieces

Here is Vada in her baptismal gown.  I enjoyed making this for her.  She is very cuddly.

I made this quilt for Vada.  Stephanie saw a photo of a similar quilt on Pinterest.  I like the bright colors. I free-motion quilted flowers in each colored block with variegated thread.

Found this idea on Pinterest also.

Vada's Aunt Kelli (standing in the background) knitted this really cute hat for Vada.  Grandma Jeryl is holding her.

It was a good day with a sweet, sweet baby.

Charlotte's Baptism - July 2012

Here is Charlotte test-driving her baptismal gown. I used white muslin with cotton lace for the trim.  

I love this picture of Kelli and Charlotte together.  She is such a cutie!

Kelli and Aaron and Charlotte after the baptism.  I didn't realize how much Aaron looked like his brother until I got these pictures back.

 

 

Charlotte with her Great-grandma Von Soosten.  Charlotte looks much more comfortable in her slip.

And, of course, no family event is complete without a new quilt.  I made this quilt for Charlotte.  Kelli found a photo of this quilt on a blog. There was no piecing in this quilt, just applique.  I did free motion quilting in between the elephants, stars and circles.  Making baby quilts is so much fun, they go together so much faster than the bigger quilts. A cute quilt for a cute little girl!
