Catching up

Once upon a time I had a beautiful baby girl.  She took my breath away!

She was my first baby, and seemed to be going on 21 from her first breath.

I've been trying to keep up with her ever since, 

and I've had the time of my life doing it!

Well, that baby girl is 21, and I'm still trying to catch my breath.

And now she is engaged!!!!!!!


This first picture of Molly was taken recently by her roommate in their dorm suite.  
The quilt on the left was made for her by my MIL, and I made the quilt on the right with fabrics that she picked out many years ago.  She made the apron she is wearing, and it cracks me up that she is wearing an apron while playing on her roommate's "antique" game system.

She is still hard to keep up with!

We are so happy for Molly and Peter, and have so much to celebrate!  

This morning Molly and I went to a special bride's event at Crate & Barrel.  As we looked at linens, she told me of an idea for a quilt design, and I am going to have a fun time fabric shopping with her to create that quilt in her head.  Of course, once we talked quilting, everywhere I looked I saw colors, shapes, designs, and textures.  We later found some great clothing for her on sale at Anthropologie, and the same thing occurred.  We never have to look far for quilty inspiration:

 

So many ideas, and so little time -- as always.  So, first things first.  I need to do some catching up on some bee blocks.  It's time to get that sewing machine humming along again!

Where do you find quilty inspiration?

Do you see quilts everywhere?

With wishes, true and kind -- Joan
