I was (and am) thrilled! But then I started thinking about a 15-month-old toddling around our home and all the interesting and potentially dangerous things he could find (uh-oh!) as well as the lack of clear work surfaces in the room where the sewing machine and computer are.
I have these partially finished blocks laying on the ironing board waiting for a decision about connecting strips and center blocks...
... piles like these sitting near my cutting mat, and ...
... this stack of fabrics sitting in a basket on the floor.
I don't even want to take photos of the rest of the room with all the folded fabric on tables and beside my sewing machine waiting to be cut and put away. All of this (above) doesn't even touch on the pins, pincushions, needles, and scissors I have in several rooms.
So today I've been trying to cut fabric for three (three!) quilts in progress so I can put the fabric away.

Ahh, but it will be such fun to have the little fellow and his mom here for a few days. He's easy-going, cuddly, kissable, and loads of fun.
I hope you're getting lots of sewing time in today.

I can't wait to have a grand child. I immediately thought of cardinals when I saw the picture of the first quilt in progress.
ReplyDeleteHi, Diana --
DeleteI wasn't sure about having a grandchild/being a grandmother but it's a lot of fun. He doesn't live close enough to see him but about once/month but it's still good. Yes, me, too: cardinals.
So many projects? hehe Three doesn't seem like very many to me these days! When you're in the mood to work with certain colors it absolutely does make sense. Enjoy your time with your family. Always time to quilt later.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you, Audrey, when I was making the list of in-progress quilts, knowing that you often have many more than three going at the same time. And you make such good progress on all of them! I seem to lose interest in a quilt if I put it away for too long. I hope that doesn't happen this time. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
