"baby" quilt delivered
Finally! That "thing" was in serious danger of becoming a UFO for a
_long" time. Frankly, at 22 months Hannah is hardly a baby anymore, thus the quotes. However, this was the first time I got to give away a quilt to a kid in person, when the kid was old enough to not just cry, eat or sleep. She loved it! Spent an hour going "Hannah blanket", and walking around with it wrapped around her, or lying down under it. Of course, I was working on a hard deadline, she and her parents are going to East Asia (from England) next weekend for missionary work, so I had to get it done. When I started it, I didn't know they weer looking at somewhere quite as hot as where they are going, but they decided, that they'd take the "blanket" on the plane and then if it just too hot out there, hang it on the wall for show. I don't have pics yet, but it is made with pages from fabric ment for a cloth book for babies. The story is Noah's Ark. Quite appropriate, I thought. The colours were a little drab, and in my infinite lack of wisdom when I first started quilting, I set the pictures in other fabrics similarly drab... However, for the backing I got some very bright flannel! In the end I turned the backing to the front for binding, and it picked the whole front up, so it looked pretty cheerful in the end. Phew!

This is why quilts for small children are such fun! They are the most
appreciative audience. That quilt will never get on any wall, now that Hannah has her hands on it! Roberta in D "Hanne Gottliebsen" wrote in message ... Finally!
