My very good friend, Jane, helped me smock and sew Quinn's Christmas dress. I smocked it, she sewed it! I decided that I was going to smock and sew Quinn's Easter dress and force myself to learn to do it on my own. About 6 weeks ago, I went to the local smocking shop and came out with a bag full of fabric and thread. I dutifully went to class on Thursday nights(thank you Todd!) and I think it all paid off. I am one proud mama. I picked the dress with an embroidered cross on it, because that is what Easter is all about....it was such a sweet and meaningful pattern, that it was a joy to make for Quinn. The lady who designed it says it so perfectly....."making a gift for someone is an expression of love, a giving of one's self....I could think of no better message of love than the symbol that stands for love-The Cross. What better gift could we receive than the love of God through His Son Jesus". Happy Easter! Here are a few of Quinn and THE DRESS!

What a beautiful and meaningful way to express your love for our beautiful Quinn but also for our Lord and Saviour Jesus. I am sure that you have captured ALL of our hearts these pictures and that gorgeous dress!!
Tara,
