I used the jelly roll method. I cut strips from several favorite fabrics. Then I cut the same amount of strips from the black. It has grey oriental writing on it. I then sewed one favorite, one black, another favorite, another black, etc end-to-end. Then I did the jelly roll racing with that. I fmq it 2 1/2 years ago, while in GreenBay, WI. I used glide in a golden color, did a cursive L and loops. I really like how it turned out and it encourages me to just turn Abigail on and get to work!

Eek I'm a granny. Thomas Henry decided to arrive 2 weeks early and undiagnosed breech and didn't give them time for a C section. Gave them a scare for a few hours when he didn't breath he was taken away and they didn't hear anything. Alls well now and they are all recovering from the nights events.

I'm making some baby name bunting aww

[lotti]

Congratulations and good health and happiness to the young man and all his family!

[twiglet]

Thank you both

[JudithA]

Oh Wendy, I stopped breathing when I read your email and didn't start breathing again until I read the part that says he is okay. I am so happy for you and your family!

Congratulations Granny! Just in time for New Year's celebrations!

I am so happy that everything worked out okay. These little ones have a way of capturing our hearts from the moment the decide they're on the way. And forever. Enjoy! I like his name!

[JudithA]

Congrats Wendy! Grandkids can be so much fun. I'm glad to hear that all is well with Mom too.

And here is picture of the whole quilt I bound yesterday.



The Post Office box is full with some goodness going out.

Happy New Year to everyone

Wendy, congratulation on you new status. I'm so glad to hear all is well now.

Whew! All these early babies are scaring me! My daughter is due in 2 weeks with a breech presenting little boy. I am hoping that he turns so she doesn't have to have a C section! She's already quite a bit dilated, so who knows! I'm so glad Alfie and Thomas are doing well as well as their mothers.

LuAnn love your quilt! Rosemary your marbled fabric is very cool. Lotti, I hope your ear is better! That's no fun.

I've been working on Rows. I received a Go cutter for Christmas and have been playing with it. It really makes cutting quicker and easier.

Take care everyone.....geneva

[twiglet]

Geneva good luck with your little one. At least the delivery is planned.

Good to see you again Norma

Thank you for all your good wishes

[twiglet]

Luann you are so productive. Nice quilt

[twiglet]

I want to know what kind of batteries Luann uses.

Geneva - all the best for your new baby. I'm beginning to wonder among us rowers and lizards, how many grandkids we all have? I love grandchildren stories and especially some of their quotes. Priceless.

Norma - so nice to 'see' you! You've been missed.

[hide]Hi Terrie. I have two precious grandchildren. They were here after Christmas for a few days. Two days ago I cut my finger open on a food can and it required 4 stitches. I was bleeding quite a bit and said I needed to go to the er to have it checked out. My five year old granddaughter told me to "be macho Grandma!!!". I tried. [[/hide]
