I was pretty excited that it was centered around stars...as I have a thing for them...they are my favorite quilt blocks.
Along with designing a block I got to name it and the stipulations given to us was to name it after a star we look up to in our lives.
Immediately, my husband came to mind.
My husband is a good man. Actually, he's more than that. He's my rock, he's my vote of confidence, he's my love, and he makes me want to be a better person.
Together we've had 4 amazing kids.
We are partners in everything. We parent as partners, we do our finances as partners, we set family goals as partners, we struggle for each other, we feel happiness for each other, we meet each other half way most of the times. But there are times when he meets me more than half way...
He's the kind of man, that works so hard for our family, not just financially, but emotionally, and spiritually. I see him on his knees in prayer every night, I see him so tired, but getting up before the sun is up to do his jobs, I see him giving our sons and daughter a wonderful example of what a man should be to his wife and to his children. He loves me unconditionally, even with my faults, he supports me, even when I am doubting myself, he motivates me to try harder and to reach for new heights, he inspires me to be better.

Love....just love, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful man. Please thank him for his service from MN with love. My father, brothers and hubby and son served. God Bless them all
Love that you honored your husband with your star.
Thanks to him for serving (my husband is retired military & my father is a WWII vet) and kudos to you for "holding down the fort" while he is on duty. Thank you for your gorgeous fabrics and creative patterns.

I love this V. Makes me cry.
Love, love, love. All you need is love. He's a cutie.
I hate making quilts with stars because I find them to be so challenging. I try to avoid them, but this quilt might be calling my name.
It's wonderful that you value your husband so much... he sounds a star..... just like mine!!
Aren't we lucky?
