One cousin, Cousin M made this beautiful quilt for her Great Niece, while another cousin, Cousin J, stepped into the shot just the second before HH or I snapped the photo. This was so frustrating, because we'd missed many many many perfect shots before we finally got the idea that maybe we should take a photo. Cousin J was as slow as us, because she suddenly thought, "Hey, maybe that dog could bite my granddaughter!" So we were both slow. What got cropped was cousin bending over in front of her beautiful photogenic daughter, mother of the baby. But baby and dog sure did like each other. Another shot missed a bit before this one was the one of the quilt being held up for display. This was in Ashland at our family reunion in Lithia Park.
Next time I go to the baby jazz band rehearsal I'm going to take a camera and see if I can get a photo of the hostess' sewing room. It would be the envy of all who saw it and ever thought about a quilt. I've been filling in for someone on a European Garden Tour with her Hardy Perennial Club, and BJB People are a compelling and delightful bunch. Rehearsals moved from a garage to a basement. The garage home was very interesting, too, because in back were lovely boats made by the garage owner himself.

I just love to the delight that babies find when they see a small animal on their level. Baby and dog are very sweet looking, and that quilt is lovely.
I'd like to see the sewing room. I always enjoy seeing creative spaces, and all the things that inspire people.
Alas, they've moved rehearsals to a night I'm not available, and the camera battery was dead the last time I was there, but I know you would love her space! She's got room for more than one project at once. I should have counted the work tables! And odd cabinets she picks up at garage sales, but perfect for their purpose. It's a brilliant room.
I LOVE the colors of the quilt! At first I thought this was YOUR grandbaby...and that you had a secret...that you had a mystery daughter locked in the cellar...
You are awesome
