My friend Mrs. Simmons is pregnant and her due date came and went yesterday, so right now I am in a state of on-edgeness. At any moment I could receive a text – that the time has come and Mrs. Simmons is on her way to the hospital, entourage in tow. However, the text could take days to come, so I have to focus on other things. Today is Mrs. Simmons’ sister’s birthday so I have a feeling the baby might come today. Nobody knows what the sex of the baby is going to be which makes the whole situation even more exciting.
I wanted to take the opportunity to post some pics of the quilt I made for the baby.
This is the back of the quilt…
And I know I am a dork but here is a photo of the quilt in the Fresh Modern Quilts Flickr group…
So many of the quilts in the group pool in the Fresh Modern Quilts Flickr group have been such a huge inspiration to me – I was really excited to finally be able to make a contribution of my own. Today I plan to take the first step to get involved with the East Bay Modern Quilt Guild. I really love modern quilting and although I get to be around other quilters and oodles of quilting inspiration at work, I think getting involved with a group will be a great way for me to pick up some skills and will keep me on track making more quilts!
Stay tuned for a post about Spring Quilt Market which took place in Salt Lake City last month. I can’t wait to finally post the pics I took there. But in the meantime, you can check out my posts about Spring Quilt Market here on the Stash Books blog, and here on the C&T Publishing blog.
I think Baby Simmons will love his or her quilt! And Mrs Simmons most definitely will too!
