It has been ages since I posted so I want to apologize for not being more on top of things. Time has whizzed by. This last month I have been babysitting two and three days a week, I finished two baby quilts (the Noah's Ark panels) and gifted them to the new mother and grandmother. I attended a retreat, attended a quilt show, took my aunt out for her birthday, finished two quilt tops and sent them off with a quilter to be quilted. And, last Saturday I attended a quilt class in a quilt shop. It has been a long time since I signed up for a class at a shop. I had a good time and almost finished my top. I had spent two days before class getting the pieces cut and presewn into HSTs so that I could get my top finished in class. But alas, I did not make it. I counted wrong on my HSTs and ended up 36 HSTs short, so I finished it yesterday.
I babysat our darling grandbaby today. We had a good day. Tomorrow is my long day. I start at 6:45 a.m. and do not finish until 5:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. That makes for a long day. I hope baby is as good and happy tomorrow as she was today. Can we hope for two days in a row? We think she is teething already. She has a slight cold (runny nose and some sinus congestion), so she is not a happy camper these days. But she was a doll today, thank goodness. My husband has been sick, so he is not going with me. He usually brings me lunch and we eat together, then he stays for the afternoon and helps take care of Busy Lizzy. He is complaining that he misses her which I am sure he does. He likes to give her her bottle. She is usually quiet and happy during that time! He always gives her back to me when she starts to cry!
My husband also enjoys watching our son and daughter-in-law's big screen television. They have a whopping big screen, My husband is looking at these televisions at the store and drooling a little each time he walks by the television section! I think our television screen is big enough, but it is not one of those thin screens. We still have the regular size television, not the newer size.
I am posting a picture of baby girl that I took last week. It is a bit blurry (sorry), but she is constantly in motion and I find it hard to take a picture of her face when she is still. The only time she is still is when her eyes are closed!
I am also posting a picture of my quilt top I finished yesterday. It is a pattern by Gail Abeloe of Back Porch Press. It is her Christmas Tree Quilt pattern. I really like it and hope I can get it quilted and up on the wall this Christmas.
Well ladies, take care of yourselves during this flu season that is already upon us. Also, have a Happy Thanksgiving (if I don't get back to you before then).
Happy Quilting
