I'm going to have fun this year!!! Yay!!!!
<- I like this icon too!I've been working on my flower garden quilt. I'm using lots of reproduction fabrics from the Depression Era so it's very retro-looking. I really like it. I've tried to make it look very 30's-40's. What do you think? This pattern is called a "Grandmother's Flower Garden", and is made up of hexagons. It was a very popular pattern in the 30's (I learned a lot of quilting history from my mom). In this quilt, one side of a hexagon is about 1/2 inch - very small - so the making is slow. I'm doing it all by hand (this pattern you have to do by hand). I came up with the yellow hexagons inbetween.
This is what the quilt top looks like now

My newest block that I need to put a row of white hexagons around - it's so cute if I so say so myself.

I haven't seen your blog for a long time. It was very fun to see what you have done on it. Your quilt is beautiful and I can see my first grandchild is very, very talented. You are very pleased to have two new cousins, I see. I am glad you are over being sick. Sinus infections are the worst. I wonder if you will have a baby brother or baby sister--your mom says it is still not definite. I find it interesting that you will be in the class of 2010 (that is a good year). You are wonderful Lexi and I love you very much!
Thanks Grandma - I want to know whether it's a boy or a girl too!
