catch up–

Over the next few days I’ll post the little drawings that I’ve neglected to post for soooo long. I’m no where near the three per week that I was shooting for, but I do have some.

And now I’m at a loss for words.

Well, I’m getting excited for our baby to come. I always wonder how people have lots of kids. I think I’d like 6 or 8, but being pregnant that many times? YIKES! I certainly don’t feel like this is the last little person that needs to come to our family, but my hips and sciatic nerve sure would like to be done with all these streching, shifting invasions of alien beings. And my ankles would like to come back home too.

Oh, and it’s going to be a boy. I don’t think I’ve said that here yet. Brenna is destined to be just like me. I am the oldest of 5 with 4 younger brothers. In a lot of ways relating to women still feels like speaking a foreign language. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a sister? Oh I want Brenna to have one someday…

Guilt…

So, it’s been nearly a year since I attended Denyse’s workshop and was inspired to organize Blockswap. I have one of the charity quilts totally completed, but the other is still just a pile of blocks.

I took these photos of the completed one on a sunny day way back in November. Photographing quilts is so hard!

Here’s the whole thing, but blurry:

Here’s a detail of the front. You can really see the amazing quilting done by Gina of the Quilter’s Buzz and Threaded Pear Studio. The modern swilrs are so perfect. Can you tell?

Gina pieced the back, which is wonderful as well.

We really need to get this thing sold and the donations made. I really apologize for how slow I’ve gone on this. Any suggestions on getting good photos?
