Whenever we leave for a while, there's always lots of catching up to do. I did manage to finish a prayer shawl for a friend who's having a rough time with her health. This pattern is one of my favorites and is done in Homespun yarn which can always be counted on to be soft and cuddly. (details on ravelry)
Way back in December, our quilting group decided on a challenge to use the balloon fabric in a strip 48 1/2" long. True to my procrastinating streak, I waited until the day before it was due to finish it. Thankfully, I'd prepared all the parts and only had to sew it up in my bleary, jet-lagged state. It was fun to see all the different strips last Friday and how well they blended together!
Now, I'm off to work on my Sunbonnet Sue block, speaking of catching up!
And then of course, there was lots of catching up to do with Max. He changes daily, I think. What a sweet little guy!

Max doesn't look like a newborn anymore ---- what a sweet, sweet baby!
He must be rooting on his Grandma with that little fist in the air. QUILT, Grandma, QUILT!!!
Dear Judy
Max is the star - and you show here a very beautiful picture of him.

Max is a cutie! Sounds like you've been traveling. I hope you missed our bad storm. We lost so many trees. We are still cleaning up from the ice storm. Other than that I have been painting away in my little studio dreaming of warmer weather!
