A very lovely reader Danielle emailed me and asked had I made a quilt for Elodie. Sadly, no. There just hasn’t been enough time and you might remember I seemed to have the fastest pregnancy on record. So she asked would I like a quilt that she’d made that was sitting in her cupboard. Oh would I ever but it was such a generous offer………….
dress from country road – thanks grandmummy
and oh wow it is such a beautiful quilt. Linen and liberty half square triangles and oh so beautifully made. Danielle even appliqued a little russian doll on the bag it came in! And I knew as soon as it arrived that it deserved a little photo shoot with my little model Elodie.
she loves it!
And as you can tell Elodie has no problems in the growing department. Lots of little rolls of baby fat and oh her thighs are too cute for words! How do babies get such cute little thighs…oh to have such cute thighs!!! Elodie you are not helping me agree with retro daddy that there will be no more babies, not helping at all. I could have a few babies if they were all as cute and placid as you are.
this hair is still growing
And she is such a happy little model that we even had time for a quick wardrobe change into a little fuschia number by gymboree. I also love that Elodie is revealing her love affair with ceilings, lights, walls…..she’ll stare and giggle at them as if they were a person and it’s so funny to watch.
So thank you, thank you, thank you Danielle. It is the most beautiful little quilt that Elodie will keep forever. And isn’t that the beauty of a quilt….clothes and toys will come and go but a beautifully made quilt can last forever.
The quilt is lovely…but oh my goodness…that little baby of yours is scrumptious!!Totally loving all her little chubby rolls…gobble, gobble, gobble!! That green dress is divine too!
How sweet and special – the baby and the quilt! Elodie is a doll!
Beautiful. The quilt and your little bubba
That is so nice!
Cute baby rolls!
Wow that quilt is stunning but not as gorgeous as dear sweet Elodie. She is absolutely adorable…who could resist having more when they are all so beautiful!!
What a lovely thought and she is just toooooo cute for words.

Oh what a lucky little girl Elodie is to receive such a precious gift! I absolutely love Elodie in that green dress, the color suits her so well! I think if I were you Corrie I would have trouble saying no to another baby as you make such adorable ones!
What a lovely and thoughtful gesture. Little Elodie looks simply precious on that quilt.

Lucky you! Beautiful quilt, beautiful bub!
Krásné…
what a wonderful gift, and i love your chunky monkey, Elodie…
the quilt is lovely.
You made me laugh though. Our fourth child was super easy too. I said to a lot of people that she was our gift from God to help Steve want more. Maybe Elodie will help Retro Daddy say the same thing.
After all, I am mum2eight now.
That babe is just too darn sweet!! My son was a real chub and we couldn’t get enough of the kissing and snuggling. And that quilt is gorgeous. Liberty and linen, it just makes me drool. Does Danielle want to be my friend? lol
How wonderfully sweet of Danielle! Elodie is just scrumptious. I had big babies too and you could just get lost in all those rolls – love them.
Awww so precious, both gorgeous ♥
Adorable…certainly not a newborn anymore Corrie. That green dress is amazing…oh…and the quilt is lovely too….:)
Lovely 😀
Gorgeous! Lucky Elodie. I agree, thoses rolls – she is even making ME want more!!! Too cute.
What an amazing gift – it is so beautiful! And she is just the most scrumptious bubba! So cute

A beautiful quilt and one beautiful baby to go with it. Love her new clothes, too.
Oh your little girl is so beautiful.
Little girls should have those little elastic band rolls, I know mine did.
I have a collection of liberty prints, and have been waiting for inspiration.
What a timeless gift, your daughter has been given.
Oh How adorable….the quilt and your little treasure…its so so lovely when you are so busy with the giving to ‘receive’…..enjoy!
Your blog is absolutely stunning and so is your daughter!

Oh my, Elodie is delicious! Too cute and kissable. My little Lotte (11 weeks) shares Elodie’s yumminess. Love the quilt- what a special gift! Emma. xx
A beautiful quilt for a simply gorgeous little girl. I am sure it will be treasured through the years.
Oh my goodness…how cute is Elodie??? I think she is getting cuter by the post!! I could just kiss those little cheeks Corrie…and the wardrobe change, hahaha, she will be lining up with Keira before too long! Btw, the quilt is lovely, how generous?
A lovely quilt indeed and such an incredible nice gesture, but I can’t win from this baby!
But… when I was reading about this little girls thighs I kept thinking you wouldn’t be as thrilled if they were yours in the same proportions LOL!
Oh how lucky little Elodie is — that’s a beautiful quilt. Elodie is adorable too — she’s growing so quickly!
what attracted me most is the baby’s cute smile with her pink eye let dress.. i am not much in quilting these days but i love to
continue if my budget allows me..
thanks for sharing…
