We've just arrived in New Hampshire for the holidays. There's snow on the ground, Christmas carols on the radio, one happy little baby in a candy cane dress, and lots of family, friends, and food on the schedule!  From Wikimedia Commons Have a wonderful holiday! xx Tina

A year late!

About a decade ago... ok, I'm exaggerating, less than a year ago... I started a cute little baby blanket for friends whose first son was born shortly after baby G. With one thing and another, though, the quilt ended up in my WIP pile until a couple of weeks ago, when I realised that if I didn't get my act together, this baby boy was going to turn one before receiving the quilt meant to welcome him into the world. I actually had all of the squares done and really just needed a few hours to get them sewn into rows and add a border or two. Easy peasy, especially with Wednesday sewing nights! That thin inner border actually has light green polka dots, but you can't see them in this light. Ta-da! It's a version of this other quilt I'd made, using this pattern from the Moda Bake Shop . And, the wind cooperated to show both front and back at the same time! Now, I've just to add binding and a label, and this pretty little thing will be ready to go, just in time
