Jennifer Schifano Thomas said… That's awesome. You must be so excited. When is she due? Did you have time to take a photo of the quilt, or maybe after the arrival with the baby? :) I have 3 boys here, so I am hoping for a granddaughter someday, too.
I'm pretty busy today, packing to go on a trip. It takes a lot of organizing to get 5 people on the road! Yesterday I managed to take a few minutes out to work on a pattern for some drink coasters. They're so cute. I'll post a pic when it's all finished.
Have a super day!
