A few weeks ago my niece Ellen (niece #2 on my side) called my cell phone. It startled me. I almost never hear from her, so my heart was pounding and I was just certain something had happened either to my sister or brother-in-law. She chatted for a little bit, then asked about my quilting projects and if I had run out yet. I had a suspicion she was wanting a quilt, but still wasn't ready for what was to come. I laughingly told her about a woman I overheard in JoAnn's (a chain craft store) saying she had THREE projects going at one time! I looked at Bobby when I heard that and tried not to laugh. I told him I had so many projects going I didn't even want to count them all. He didn't laugh, but nodded and said "I believe it." When I shared that story with Ellen, she laughed and said, "Well, you're going to push some aside and make time for one more. I'm going to need a baby quilt."
I'm not old enough (in my mind anyway) to be a great aunt, but I'm very excited for Ellen & Kevin, even if this wasn't on their agenda for 2018. Here's the post she shared on Facebook:
So even though I won't know colors or a color scheme until March, I am tossing around ideas and thoughts in my head. And in the meantime, I am trying very hard to knock out some of my ongoing projects!
