..... QUILTING FOREVER, HOUSEWORK WHENEVER .....
This and that...
Maybe I should have mentioned a tidbit about the pattern pictured with the variegated fabric that I showed you at the bottom of my previous post. It can be found in the September 2005 Australia Patchwork & Quilting magazine, Vol 13 No 8. It took me about a year after getting that magazine to come upon that kind of fabric. I was sooooo excited at the find, you would have thought that I would have finished that quilt by now... NOT EVEN STARTED YET... in fact, I don't think I even washed the fabric yet!!! Can you relate? 8-)Good news, my bro and sis-i-l are available for a BBQ Saturday, so I will FINALLY present them with their 25th Anniversary gift. Their anniversary was in April... What can I say, I don't get these bright ideas (light-bulb moments) until the event is right upon me... Sad, but true...My next bit of focus will be on another baby quilt. My cous that became a first time Gram in May is expecting grand-baby #2... yesterday... 8-) I thought it was to come mid August, so the longer time has passed without word, the more curious I was getting, until we talked yesterday. Babe not due till END of August... DUH! Remember I have a baby girl quilt top ready since May. The baby boy quilt top made shortly after that got made up for the first grandchild Ezekiel. So, now I need to get started on another baby boy... or unisex quilt top... fast!!! With my luck it WILL be a boy, and then the rush will really be on! YIKES!!! 8-)
Just heard, the babe is here, safe and sound, born early this morn, new Mommy doing well too. It's a GIRL!!! ...and the shower is on Sept 14th, so I best grab that quilt top, batting, backing, and get a move on it! 8-)
The "fur-girls" are patiently waiting to take me on their walk. You may be fooled by thinking they are sleeping, but as soon as I get my butt up from this chair they will beat me to the door! 8-)

It's going to be a gorgeous quilt. Where did you get the fabric?
Looking forward to seeing the baby quilt finished Myra! cheers, QGB
Hey girl, as hard as you have worked, I think you should be claiming BOTH the anniversary quilt AND the baby quilt that needs finishing.
In reality they were both UFOs when the challenge began on Aug. 26th,right???? *VBS*
I've got 5 in my brain to finish. Which 5 it will be, I don't know as yet. In reality I'm hoping to gather some steam and get more than 5 finished by 12/31/08 and NOT CARRY as many into 2009. You go girl..so happy baby and Mom are doing well. Hugs, Finn
