make, fast!

     In April, a sweet little friend asked if I made quilts to order for people. Her grandson was in my class years (he's in Middle school now) ago, and her daughter was expecting another grandbaby. She brought me the cute, woodland fabric on the far left and some pretty mint green flannel.

     The baby was due in October. No problem! Finish by at least September. After finishing my Trip Around the World a couple weeks ago, I pulled some grays, aquas, taupes and light blues from my stash. I'd been wanting to play with the Elevator Music Quilt pattern from Quilting Happiness. I worked a little each day with a goal of finishing before my Gatlinburg trip on July 19. Well...

    On Tuesday, they put the mommy on bedrest because of some complications; we prayed and prayed. We received what we thought was bad news on Wednesday, we cried and prayed some more. This sweet boy arrived extra early, two and a half pounds/ 12 inches long and on Thursday morning, he and his mommy were resting comfortably. Needless to say, my finish goal is scooted up! The top is almost together, lying in my living room floor. Must get to work!
