We have family that live on the west coast and unfortunately we don’t see them often.  We were however lucky enough that Bob and Nadia came to Washington DC a few years ago to work for a short period of time.  During that time Nadia was pregnant with twins and became high risk during her last trimester.  Akhil and Cyrus made their appearance a little ahead of schedule and celebrated their 4th birthday last month.  The family has returned to the sunny state of California but they are always thoughtful enough to invite us to the boys birthday party each year.  We haven’t traveled there yet but I did send them these quilts as gifts.

I used Kaffe Fasset striped fabrics and different quilt patterns for these bright and happy quilts plus I sent them my very favorite children’s book, “The Quiltmaker’s Gift” by Jeff Brumbeau.  I hope the boys have many years of enjoyment with these quilts…hugs from their family in Virginia.
