Baby Shower...

Like I posted earlier, a colleague at work is having a baby girl.  I made a Bliss rag quilt, a diaper changing thing (with a hand towel and some Bliss) and a hooded towel (made with a towel and washcloth).  A teacher at a previous school gave me a couple of hooded towels for my son when he was born.   I thought it was sort of silly, but I used them for years...until they fell apart!  Here are my gifts....


What else have I been doing?  Well, I pulled some fabric for my Valentine quilt.  I might start on that this weekend.  I think the Christmas quilt along is coming up...I should look at all of that as well.  Anyhow, I did get something done this week!!  The purple/aqua quilt was mailed to the quilter, so that is off my plate.  Wow, I can't wait to see what I do this weekend!!  It is a 3 day weekend in Nevada (Nevada Day is celebrated Friday) and then the kids get Monday and Tuesday off as well for Staff Development Day at our public schools.  Unfortunately, Ryan has a doctor appt. on Monday so I will have to miss one day of Staff Development (awww...shucks...;-D) and I'll just stay home and quilt until the appt.  So I'm getting a 4 day weekend...Ryan gets 5 days off in a row!  You should see the happy dance around here....

  2. I bet she's thrilled with those gifts.

    Have a happy sewing weekend. The Christmas Quiltalong is the 2nd Saturday of November, and is the final one for this year.
