German Fabrics for German born Everett Mack





While visiting Rotenberg, Germany with Niki Hugo, we found a little fabric store with these beautiful woven plaid fabrics. I bought them. When Everett was expected, we knew she would be born in Germany. It was time to use the German fabric.
Lydia decided not to tell anyone the sex of the expected baby. I thought she would have a boy, so I made the quilt of the German fabrics. We went to Germany for the birth of the baby Everett, and to bring the older children home with us, in preparation of their transfer home to the US. So Everett's quilt is made from these beautiful German fabrics, and hand quilted. Everett was born on my birthday. Veterans Day. She was named after her two of her great grandfathers who were veterans of WWII. Mark Everett, her maternal Gr. Grandfather, and William Lauren Mack, her paternal Gr. Grandfather.
