My New Grand-Niece!

Addyson Fate Kirkland

Dec. 15, 2008

Addy is our new baby! She was born Monday, at 1:28 a.m. weighing 6.5 lbs. and 18.5" long. Her parents are (my niece), Misty and James Kirkland. She is very diminutive and doing well with eating already! It's made this Christmas very special!

Pastel Pinwheels

EQ6 Rendition 12/08

These blocks, which I cannot believe, are 20 years old. It seems almost yesterday when I started them--I remember where, when, and with whom. Ha, but that shall remain a secret! Needless to stay, the best part is still around--these quilt blocks!

I was a new quilter then--life intervened--and all the blocks didn't get made at the time. I had found I needed more, which I cut, but never sewed together. Now I am making the last 7 blocks. Since I now have EQ6, I created a rendition in order to check border and setting square colors on it. The actual quilt is more pastel than these colors look, which means the borders and squares will likely be soft colors as in the drawing above.

It'll probably be early summer before it gets totally finished. I'll be sure to post it.
