Painting for Baby Hicks

Just finished a canvas for my sweet friend, Erin, who is due any day now with baby girl #2! She sent me pics of the bedding (super cute mix and match stuff from Target) and I picked up some receiving blankets last time I was there to match the colors better. Here's what the quilt looks like, plus some pics of the bumper, which is dots and stripes.




And.....here is her painting. It's on it's way to Colorado as I blog about this. She really wanted me to emphasize the brown, pinks, and greens.


I don't know baby's name yet, only that her initials are T. L. H. She asked me to do initials, plus a scripture, and the only way I could figure out how to do both in the middle was to overlap them. I was going for the initials to look like they are in the background, and the scripture laying on top.
Stripes for the sides

a little stitching around the pink rectangle to pull in the stitching in the pattern
Hope she loves the painting!
