Needles!!!!!

Mom has needles (not to be confused with measles)! I can finish the Cacophony of Cups aka the batik! Hopefully I won't also need my pliers. I brought them along, but they sure are a pain in the patootie. Then I'll run it through the dryer to give it a nice finish.

Also, between last night and this morning I've finished another hex flower and I'm about 2/3 through another. My niece is expecting a girl, so perhaps that's even more of an impetus for getting the flower garden done. (I was really hoping for a boy, but, oh well.) She's due in November, so that should give me ample time to work on it. As long as I take it with me wherever I go. THAT'S IT! There's my name for it: Anywhere I Wander. It's a song from Danny Kaye's movie, Hans Christian Anderson. Perfect for a baby quilt.

My sister is so excited. She has a lot of step-grandchildren, but this is the first time one of her own kids is having a baby. It's pretty rad. I'll have another grandniece! My brother's daughter has a little girl about the same age as my youngest. Boy, is she a punkin! She's a little bit of a drama queen (must come from my side of the family) who loves ballet and princesses. Very girly girl. We have a picture of our matching shoes from Christmas. Well, our matching slippers. Black sequin ballet slippers. If I was at home I could post it. Maybe next post. I should make something for her, too! OMG! I've got a list a mile long! 

I also have to make those other two my mom commissioned. Also for baby girls. I wonder if any of my friends are having boys? I wanna make something with trucks on it. Or motorcycles. Hmmm... I wonder what I have at home I could use for two little girl quilts? I know I must have something. Or, mom could pick out the fabric. Most of the stuff I have at home has been assigned to a project. That will... someday... get done...
