I was up early but managed to fall back asleep until 0630. That was a mistake. Now I'm really groggy. The good news is I was able to check on and add wood to the stove the few times I was up in the middle of the night, so we have an awesome fire this morning.

The bad news is it is already warmer outside at sunup than it was all day yesterday. I guess we didn't need the fire.

Dsqard and myself are taking an online class that shows you how to quilt to show motion and texture. We had some fun stitching yesterday:

SCG, with you making that cute little baby quilt........ are you trying to tell us something? Hmmmm?

 

[superchemicalgirl]

Wisher... yes. Everyone I know is pregnant. Except me.

SCG, I know you don't believe this, but having a baby would be the best thing that ever happened to you.

ETA - I'm not trying to talk you into it, really, I guess with the realization that my first "baby" is about grown (that hit me hard yesterday) I am being nostalgic. I was never one to get all sappy over kids. I thought they were fine, kinda fun to mess with, easily tricked, etc. I played with them like I played with cats or horses.... I told my mom for years that I didn't want kids, I would rather have puppies. You got to play with them until they were too much trouble, then you sold them! Everyone, including me, thought that was just the way it was going to be with me.

I didn't even think about getting married or having kids until I was over 30. One day, I thought, " I probably should have a couple of kids." So I set about looking for a husband (things are done in a particular order in my family) and was pregnant within three months of getting married.

I clearly remember sitting in my hospital bed, looking at my newborn son, feeling his fingers and toes and knowing, beyond any doubt, without any thought or hesitation, that I would die for him, or I would kill for him, whichever was necessary.

I picked up the phone and called my mom. I said, "Mom? You know all these years when you said 'I love you, baby? Well, now, I know what you meant."

My life changed completely, the world was different, and I had no idea it would be that way. I always smile when I tell women that are pregnant, "Your life will never be the same."

Wisher... what if it wasn't, though? It's not like I can put it back where it came from.

She is! The class shows videos on how to quilt this exact panel. I think her lamb looks much better than mine and her clouds I know do.

You're right about that! And like I used to say, they are not like puppies, you can't sell them when they get to be too much trouble. You get arrested for that. It's just that..... well, see my edit in my last post.

Deb thank you so much for posting the picture! SCG is right, there is nothing better than seeing your work being used as intended.

I am so glad you found the color catchers. I hope you get years and years and years of enjoyment and warmth from it. You are more than welcome to share my pictures of my quilts with your friends. No need for copyright.
